But the advantage is that Lemmy allows Tor. 😅
Less anonymous, but more effectively pseudonymous =)
I call that a feature.
Oh, you MSG’d bouillon hatchling
Voyager enhances his effect by counting your votes on individuals. You start seeing people with big numbers.
Oh, you throwaway account nr 0430.
You look at usernames? I’ve never done that here or on Reddit.
Even without usernames. There is some people i recognize by topic, opinion and the way they express themselves. If you spend too much time here that isn’t difficult.
it’s difficult to not notice kolanaki
Never seen that one, but stamets oh boy.
This is the way.
On reddit, I use RES to hide user names.

Certain subreddits used to be like this.
But all my favorites have taken one of two paths:
-
Get algorithmically deprioritized (due to a “bug” as an admin told a mod), and hemorrhage users. The collective ‘intelligence’ of the sub in particular drains; interesting intellectual discussions are gone. One such example: /r/localllama
-
The sub gets huge. Bots repost memes and bait as attention farms. It doesn’t feel like a small town anymore. Deeper discussions drain away in favor of shallow repetition of the same things over and over again. One example of this for me is /r/thelastairbender.
-
Thats exactly why I am using lemmy exclusively for brand awareness
Oh, you savory smarch centenarian…
