  • I’m one of the newer transplants from Reddit, but for the last several years I’ve only been a lurker there, because I haven’t felt like I really fit in with those communities and that culture well enough to fully engage.

    Lemmy feels different, in similar fashion to how Mastodon felt so different from Twitter when I switched over there a year so back. I haven’t looked back on Twitter, and I doubt I’ll look back on Reddit. The water’s way nicer over here, for me.

    I do think it’ll take a while for most of the disruptive newcomers to fully bounce off the Lemmy/Fediverse culture, but I also do think they will eventually bounce off it, as long as we all stick to our guns in terms of the culture we want to build, the rules with which we want to govern our communities and servers, and the social norms we want to tolerate.

    There are just going to be 1973629092 tedious arguments about defederation between here and there. 🙄
