What's the point of "hurting" reddit if you go back after some time? It's like Stockholm syndrome, when you go back to your rapist.
Anyway, I've seen a lot of great discussions on lemmy and I hope smart people will stay here. I really don't care about how many we are, I care about the quality of the posts and discussions. And yes, I know there's a lot of shit on lemmy too, but I think I'm able to filter that shit: I learned on reddit.
