    Idk I’m certain I’m at least smarter than the half of reddit users that are LLMs and thus cannot count the number of Rs in any given fruit.

        As someone who was more flexible as a teenager, let me tell you that it feels a lot more like performing the act, rather than having the act performed on you.

          Okay, so, I’ve heard this before, which leads me to ask this completely earnest question out of genuine scientific curiosity, but have you ever sucked a dick that wasn’t your own?

          Because I can’t imagine someone with no inclination would like it very much. Ergonomically and logististically — it’s a bitch, and harder to jive with sans any experience in the field. On the other hand someone who enjoys sucking dick on the regular might get more out of the activity.

        I like sucking dick but I also know there are a lot of people with dicks who don’t and one of the things I’ve heard from people who have succeeded performing autofellatio is that it feels more like sucking a dick than it does getting your dick sucked. Honestly, hearing this just makes me want to do it more.

          You just gotta find a way to give yourself the ol stranger. Sitting on your arm until it’s numb before you jerk out.

          Maybe Botox is the solution here? It definitely provides those DSL.

    It really depends on which time period you mean.

    2010 reddit users? Pretty smart. Lemmy today feels kind of like 2010 reddit.

    Reddit today? Well…it’s bots.

    Depends on what we mean by smart. Lemmy seems to especially attract the IT crowd, which in itself represents a huge swathe of specialty knowledge… which I can’t claim to be part of, but hey, medic checking in! But with reddit’s variety of topics to include… I mean, pretty much everything, since that website is massive: I don’t think they have any kind of knowledge deficit in a general sense.

    Where Lemmy really shines is in stamping out the bigotry, not just in policy but from a direct community response: drop a post with some racism or sexism or w/e and you’ll be swarmed by posts telling you to fuck off and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out. And I love it! :D

    So, smarter? Fuck if I know. Significantly less evil? Fuck yeah!

      I’m new here but this reminds me a lot of what reddit was like around 2008. I and lots of people came from slashdot, to be able to talk about things other than computers. So everyone is a nerd that cares about data and wants to have a genuine conversation, and I think that makes my experience more intelligent because it becomes less about winning by drowning interesting topics with the same rehashed jokes or tropes, and more about formulating your own thoughts as best you can.

      Lemmy also tends towards misogyny and truscum attitudes moreso than Reddit. There are great instances like blahaj or zip where that’s not the case, but on Lemmy it’s not feasible to only view posts on subscribed communities, while on Reddit it is. And that means it’s easier to build a progressive feed on Reddit.

      Also one of the Lemmy lead devs is transphobic.
