Reddit was so combative at times, it felt like I was getting into arguments with people on there a lot. I like seeing Lemmy grow and new people join, and I just wanna enjoy it and not argue with people about stupid shit. Let’s just all have fun!
I hope so too. I stopped commenting on reddit a while back because it was just such an unenjoyable, unrewarding experience. Felt like users just got their dopamine by being contrarian about anything and everything.
Those users will come here. Best thing we can do is not engage. Just downvote, block, and delete those people from your memory. They aren’t worth your energy. Embrace the amiable community instead.
Some of those users will come, but I doubt they’d want to stay on here for long. Many are turned off by the decentralized organization of Lemmy; they’ll probably just return to Reddit or go somewhere else to rant.
Yeah, I agree I like the vibe here. And now I’m a decade older than I was when I started reddit so it feels like I’m coming here with a different attitude. On reddit I mostly lurked – by the time I’d get to a thread there would be so many comments I didn’t really have anything to add anyway.
Wait till it gets more popular
I honestly doubt it will get anywhere near as bad as Reddit was. The majority of their users are going to continue on Redditing unless the site actually shuts down. Many many people simply don’t care about the way the company runs, they just load up the 1st party app and read the r/All page.
Me too. I’m trying to turn over a new leaf. New platform, new me.
