do you want lemmy to have a different userbase and culture than reddit
or NO
mine is yes, since i dont want the fediverse users to bring their former platform’s bad habits with them

What people hate about reddit is what people hate about mobs. If Lemmy ever gets as big as reddit, it will suck just as much.
that’s just facebook talking in you to keep the competition small
I hate this kind of talk. For me the point of the fediverse isn’t that it’s cool because it’s niche, but that it’s cool because it’s a solution to a systemic problem with Social Media. I want Lemmy to get big and messy and full of obnoxious people. I think that’s a GOOD thing. Because then they’ll be on the fediverse, and not on a platform owned by a single billionaire
The fediverse won’t survive that kind of growth in its current form.
Federation requires mutual trust. As soon as there are enough users to make it a target, and a sophisticated threat appears, it will be impossible to avoid manipulation.
lemmy.world will defedrate from everyone.
I don’t think this is “bad”, just a predictable future of the fediverse.
The mob already exists here
Yes, it is here sometimes and in part; on Reddit it is like the God of Spinoza–ever present in all things.
