[+] lemmyshmemmy@lemmy.world -15 points 3 years ago (1 child) Yeah I'm hoping Lemmy doesn't get big too quickly, quality over quantity permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GONADS125@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago I think a good majority of those of us migrating here from reddit are content creators and/or productive users (engaging in relevant discussion, reporting spam/trolls, downvoting/reporting irrelevant content, etc.). I think there are most definitely going to be social loafers, lurkers, and harmful users coming over from reddit too. But I firmly believe that the proportion of healthy users greatly outweighs the unhealthy users in this influx of users from reddit. It's the trolls, mindless idiots, hateful, anti-intellectual, unproductive and unhealthy community members who are content staying on reddit, and are glad to see us leave. I think Lemmy being new and unpolished will also help sift out unproductive/unhealthy users. They'll arrive and see that Lemmy/the fediverse is still in its infancy, and they'll likely rather just stick with reddit because it's more convenient. I think the proportion of unproductive/unhealthy users here will grow as the site grows and becomes more stable and streamlined. But I think we've got some time to foster a great site/communities before they come en masse. permalink fedilink source parent
