There is a weird vibe over there. Like a city full of plastic people.

Perfect summary.

To be clear as well I've been on reddit 10+ years. It's "different" now. Uncanny valley. I'm trying to be objective. I don't have near the vitreol of many people here on lemmy. I'm actually fairly indifferent outside of them running their site into the ground.

Also worth mentioning it's more visible in large subs. My city sub is real ppl. I got the weird vibe from a top 10 sub.

Yes normal subs are fine even 1M subscriber subreddits
