MODERATORS
You people are delusional. You are living in a fantasy.
I agree. I think it's just good that with all this shitstorm, a lot of the good users migrated to the Lemmy.
We don't need 100% of the Reddit population here, if we just get like 10-20% we will have potential to become the long gone golden age of Reddit.
Exactly. The users who have moved here are disproportionately commenters, power posters, and moderators from reddit. I was a top 1% poster on reddit, lots of OC, but I've essentially stopped participating there. I occasionally comment, but I don't make posts on reddit anymore. If a significant fraction of power posters (and not just the reposters) and moderators migrate to lemmy, lemmy will have disproportionately good content, while the reddit experience will degrade further into reposts and poor moderation. I think lemmy already has disproportionately good posts and engagement, just still pretty small at the moment.
In theory I agree, but we need to get past the anti-Reddit circlejerk fast.
people often forget that reddit initially achieved network effect because a small number of high quality users left digg for being too captured by corporate interests. the rest took 10 years to play out, but inevitably when the mainstream follows these initial users, the platform dies and it is time for another migration. I think we've been ready for a while.
The shitshow reddit has become now , I believe most will be looking for an alternative !
