MODERATORS
We actually have the best case scenario here in lemmy! Those people that yelled at mods for protesting and generally don't give a shit how awful spez is and how toxic reddit has become, don't give a shit about the api changes so they will stay on reddit!
Meanwhile the rest of us, even if it's a smaller number migrate here and foster a community of discussion, respect and not being a douchebag!
Even the apps that are popping up for lemmy, yes they are buggy, yes servers are slow, but not no-one really complaines because it's a worthy growing process.
Also, and this is by far the most important thing, this decentralized structure is absolutely vital to saving the internet.
We've all gotten funneled into like 5 major corporate sites, and we've let little sites die because of it. I hope with this trend we can reverse this and switch more to a donation model.
I hope everyone on here realizes that eventually we'll have to pay for lemmy and severs. We need to fund it, not for profit, but sustainability.
Fuck the ad model and fuck infinite growth for shareholders. Let's just make something nice we all pitch in a few bucks for and enjoy.
To your point about how all the spez lovers stayed there, I just had a disagreement with someone here. We brought up our points like adults and I agreed I missed something in the original post and that they are right. I rarely if ever got to see that on Reddit in the last few years.
It's just too many people on reddit. All it takes is one asshole to change the tone of the conversation and everyone piles on and things turn to shit.
Also hiding the downvote count just fostered negativity.
