Longtime Lemmy Users: aside from sheer size, do you feel like the site has changed since the influx of reddit refugees, and if so, how?

I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

Well, yeah?

Why would we want to be here when it was only a bunch of douches role playing as Stalin?

Like I remember visiting when CTH left reddit and Lemmy has certainly come along way in having a functioning user base these past few weeks.

What does “here” refer to? You’re on Lemmy.world, your instance has never been a “leftist space” afaik.

Lemmy is software, not a “space”. The network is ActivityPub, also not known for being “leftist”.

Because it’s not a “leftist space.” It’s a federated Web platform with many communities. If any of you identipols want a safe space go setup some password protected forum somewhere.
