I think my favorite thing about Lemmy is that it feels like Reddit used to. Less negativity, more engaged users (I think). I know it will be fun to watch Reddit die, but if I put spite aside what Iโ€™m really mad at Reddit about is more about what Reddit became and maybe part of that is when the general internet user started going to Reddit and it became less like the small community it was years ago. Feel free to disagree or share an argument ๐Ÿ˜‰

Perhaps not the bulk. As people flee Reddit, I've been already noticing a few users here behaving as they were in Reddit: assumers, irrationals, context-illiterate, "chrust me" babble, so goes on. I feel like those perhaps would do a great service for Lemmy if they stayed in Reddit.

However I also think that this is partially a result of the environment, as Reddit has been tailored for stupidity. So it's possible that those users start behaving a bit more like decent people, as time goes by.
