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

    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.
