It’s not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods… y’all just nice people. Lemmy’s got a good vibe going… or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

    I think it’s partly a selection effect of who bothered to come here. On the positive end, scrolling All is more likely to show things relevant to me I wouldn’t have found.

    On the negative end there are few comments to interact wjth

      One time, when runescape did a supermassive bot ban, people began complaining that once crowded areas of the game felt eerily empty now that only real people were there.

      Not to say reddit is all bots, but my experience with Lemmy so far has been that it’s less crowded but the people here feel very sincere. Not a terrible thing. Still have more scrolling and reading to do than I have time to do it, and the quality seems even better.

      There’s a happy medium… where, new people coming in will start to post too much content, but engagement will happen quite often. Where most of the trolls and angry people will still be on reddit and places yonder.

      and we’ll pass right by it and become the 800lb gorilla.

      This moment, right now, is the golden era. Savor it. A Million monkeys hammering out Shakespeare are eyeing the gates, the only thing holding them back is the fear of the word federation.

      There is an advantage to that though, on Reddit by the time a post reached my front page it was several hours old and had so many comments it wasn’t worth me commenting on. On here people are much more likely to actually see my comments
