A lot of questions on here are aimed at the reddit users experiences, but I’ve been wondering what the older users thought of his move. Are there any reddit cultures you are hoping do not come with the users? Are you confident or fearful of the growth coming from the reddit community? I’m curious how the reddit influx is changing these communities either for better or for worse.

I just got here. Started overwriting all my posts and comments on Reddit this weekend so there will be nothing left when I leave on the 30th. Gonna spend the next few days figuring things out. I like the upvote and downvote buttons. Feels familiar.

Nah it’s great to have all of you here <3 I literally screenshot the (presemably) last time a post of mine actually went to the top haha. As long as users from the soon-to-blackout r/PCM don’t start flame wars with lemmygrad, all will be okay.

Decentralized like this is how the internet was meant to be. Power to the people!

I worry that you can take the users out of Reddit, but you can’t take the Reddit out of the users.

Yeah but so many of the users are bots or karma farmers or assholes though. Even if we only get the assholes, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad!
