Yeah it seems most of the posts on the front page are about Reddit or about how proud people are of using Lemmy etc I just want to see some actual content :(
It’s classic tribal or “sports team” mentality. Ex-redditors want to see reddit fail just as much as Lemmy succeed.
It's not a sports team mentality. The CEO pretty much disparaged a lot of users who were actively engaging in profit-making ventures for Reddit. Moderators, being unpaid spam filters, were lauded as entitled brats (landed genetry). He also explicitly got mad that people were using "his" content, content that Reddit never made yet is happily wants to profit off of. He did all of this while basically calling third-party app developers leeches despite them making apps with features Reddit's native app lacks.
People want to see Reddit fail because Reddit pissed off the people that generated their value. People want to see Lemmy succeed because it is federated and cannot be abused like a central platform.
I’m only explaining the behavior. There’s very good reason for it, and I very much also want to see both Lemmy succeed and Reddit fail.
I do imagine those type of people exist too, but probably not that much on Lemmy. Think of the 4chan type that love their "tribe" stirring up drama in other "tribes". Lots of that still on Reddit too, and hopefully it stays over there.
Not gonna lie, I'd absolutely love to watch reddit implode while eating some popcorn.
