      See, if reddit had just let the upvote/downvote system work as intended, instead of banning people for no reason at all in a lot of cases, this entire problem likely would have been avoided. And no matter what the bans should have never been permanent! We dont put people in prison FOREVER, social media accounts should also be treated with some decency.

        A lot of this is because the prevalent attitude has been ‘it’s the internet, it doesn’t matter’, and that allowed people to do things that we, as a society, decided long ago that people weren’t supposed to do.

      Same here. It’s already gotten sucky, and it’s only going to get worse.

      If you want to know the future of Reddit, look at Facebook.

        Reddit has been going downhill for a decade. The problem was that there were no viable alternatives. Now that /u/Spez has pushed the issue, he forced enough people into Lemmy that it is suddenly a viable alternative. I call that a win!

    I’ve been around Lemmy for under a week so far. This feels enough like Reddit (more than Kbin) and…seems(?) to have more activity than Kbin so I deleted my account there and decided to stay here. I’ve already created a bit of content here to grow this place! ❤

    I hope I’ll see more communities arrive here what are not yet here but in Reddit 👀

    I’m a filthy casual, and I think I’ll be staying. I might try out Kbin when they get a mobile app, because I’d like to be able to follow mastodon and the fediverse versions of reddit from the same app. But I love it here so far. There are a few subs I really miss (witches vs the patriarchy, some science subs, and a whole bunch of academic and religious subs), but I’m fairly confident that most of those will make their way here eventually. If not en mass, then a trickle of like minded folks.

    I’m planning on staying here permanently. I’ll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I’ve subscribed to and see if there’s a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I’m not going to engage with Reddit more than that.

    Yea, I’m here to stay and help it grow. Reddit even before all this BS just felt…icky sometimes. Lemmy doesn’t, and I’m loving the passionate people that are moving here.

    It depends on the tech. I’m not convinced this form of federation is going to work. There’s already a lot of tech issues being exposed and drama unfolding between the instances.

    I also don’t think it will see wide public adoption due to how segmented the communities are.

    I hope these issues are resolved, and I’ll try to stick it out here. I quit Twitter and am trying Mastodon and I’ll do the same with reddit. I’m not willing to just sit by and watch corporations take over our society.

      These poor lemmy users who aren’t on reddit. Suddenly a herd of raging ex-redditors come storming into their otherwise quiet community and take shit over. :)

    It’s a little up in the air for me at the moment. I just discovered that all of our upvotes and downvotes aren’t private. It’s not what I’m used to at Reddit.

    I can see pros and cons to this, so it will be an interesting change for sure.
