I like it and think it has a lot of potential, but at least with Lemmy I’ve encountered a lot of bugs. I want to also try Mastodon and have yet to delve into it.

I believe everyone has their blind spots, but yeah, it appears that this person is too big of a distraction for people to look past.

I’ve read several people complain over the last year or so that Google’s results have been getting worse and they add site:reddit.com or similar to improve the results.
