I moved to Beehaw; you don't get to see lemmy.world and you don't get to see downvotes and I think both is an improvement to be honest.
lemmy.world is such a cesspool I don't understand it
It was good at attracting Reddit users who still had the Reddit mindset. If we go with the idea (as some have) to push a "simple default instance that we can point everyone to" that's what we'd end up with.
Sure, but it ends up being extreme even for Reddit. There's no discourse, it's just everyone nodding along and agreeing.
I'm not praising it, there's a critical mass that communities can grow before it becomes like that and it's interesting that lemmy.world is already hitting it.
