I left a couple of months ago. Couldn't be happier.

The website got flooded with Facebook-types years ago. A lot of the audience are just Facebook mums and dads that found out their anti-vaxx rants weren’t being heard anymore, and TikTok kids who just laugh the cat pics and upvote blindly without commenting.

I go there to watch war videos and porn but 100% of my commenting has moved to Lemmy.
