Hype is real. Feels like this is the place to be. Reddit 2011 vibes with the high quality discussions. It'll only get better. To the fediverse and beyond!

Reddit user of 12 years here. God I hope this place takes off like Voat was supposed to. Reddit has just changed so damn much. I was honestly sick of the place since before the crazy app meltdown.

I've got high hopes for Lemmy, and the Fediverse in general. Voat's issue was it was a haven for fascists and fascist sympathizers, and a centralized site made that the general vibe. The federated model makes it so they can do what they want in their own little corner of shit, and the rest of us can ignore them like they deserve.

I only worry about brigading. Where they plan to slowly infiltrate a small instance and in a flick of a switch the simultaneously try to take over, overwhelming the admin.

I think there's a decent chance it will. At the bare minimum, it already feels much better to me than voat ever did.

The only issue I have right now is that reddit is a good source of technical answers. Kind of like SE without the dismissive, condescending douchebag attitude that seems to be automatic there. Every single time it sounds like they are replying to someone that is actively bothering them. Like dude, you came on the website, checked the forums, and decided to answer. I didn't send you a text or some shit.

As one of those long time users.. yeah. That's going to be an issue. So much of my Googling is blah blah blah Reddit

I wonder what the first topic of Mondays meeting at Reddit HQ will be? And if the overall feeling is gonna be positive or negative? Oh I wonder.

Reddit seems like the type of company where nobody dares to tell the CEO about any negative developments.

Russia of the internet, one might compare.

Let's not look back on reddit with rose tinted glasses.

Much of it was always a dumpster fire.

Yep, I agree. I miss those days of Reddit
