I'm a long time Lemmy lurker and occasional Redditor. Since the Reddit influx, I've watched the frequency of shitty Reddit-type behavior, e.g., combative comments, trolling, and unnecessary rudeness, just sky rocket.
I'm happy to have more content on Lemmy, but I wish the bad actors and assholes would have stayed on Reddit.
Yes, I realize the irony of posting this on a new community that's basically a Reddit transplant.
You're viewing a single thread.
I’ve definitely noticed things change a LOT in my 5 or 6 weeks here.
IMHO, instances like BeeHaw still have that old vibe. Less shit posting, less zinger comments, more people having reasonable conversations about things.
My guess is that we’ll end up having a split between instances like that, and instances that are basically trying to be fedi Reddit.
If only we could all live side-by-side in harmony.
