Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics. (lemmy.world)

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Sure thing:

slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit

Now cite your source.

That's a factual statement

No it isn't. There is no benefit to a skill if you're a slave. None.

Still waiting for that source...
