do you want lemmy to have a different userbase and culture than reddit

or NO

mine is yes, since i dont want the fediverse users to bring their former platform’s bad habits with them

    What people hate about reddit is what people hate about mobs. If Lemmy ever gets as big as reddit, it will suck just as much.

      I hate this kind of talk. For me the point of the fediverse isn’t that it’s cool because it’s niche, but that it’s cool because it’s a solution to a systemic problem with Social Media. I want Lemmy to get big and messy and full of obnoxious people. I think that’s a GOOD thing. Because then they’ll be on the fediverse, and not on a platform owned by a single billionaire

        The fediverse won’t survive that kind of growth in its current form.

        Federation requires mutual trust. As soon as there are enough users to make it a target, and a sophisticated threat appears, it will be impossible to avoid manipulation.

        lemmy.world will defedrate from everyone.

        I don’t think this is “bad”, just a predictable future of the fediverse.

    Having migrated a couple times, I’ve found that instances have their own culture and I don’t see anything wrong with that.

    Most of us are here because reddit is shit and unusable. Why would we want that here?

    I think the fediverse is a series of individuals who will create microcultures. we will not all be interacting with everyone and will be what we will be.

    There are a million little slices of each site/service, where the culture in that particular community or thread or specific comment chain can differ from somewhere else.

    So I would say that no, we shouldn’t make the fediverse a monoculture. And with that diversity within the fediverse, we can say that some parts will be similar to some parts of reddit, and some parts won’t. And some parts won’t be similar to some other parts of the same instance.

    Just let people be themselves. I think that the open source nature of the threadiverse will keep the culture pretty level headed. No algorithms trying to promote rage for clicks. It’s gonna be fine.

        I guess I’ve blocked those users, or channels or instances.

        A few strategic blocks made this place way nicer, for me, overnight.

    I don’t really like the parroting of in-jokes thing. Probably any sufficiently long lived large group will probably have in-jokes, but reddit-isms always grated the most.
