Perhaps it’s controversial, but I actually disagree. I think the fediverse protocol (ActivityPub) would be enriched by even some of the scum and the toxic people switching over.
Half the appeal of decentralization is different servers can cater to different demographics (at least that’s the goal as the project matures). While we both agree that we’d like our content to not be adulterated with garbage, having some unsavory people here will help us build the tools to deal with them effectively.
And at the end of the day, I have my suspicions that sometimes social media platforms with a profit motive may amplify the ‘controversial’ simply as a way to drive engagement. ActivityPub doesn’t do that, so those people might have less influence. Heck, is it too much to think that the environment change to Lemmy may snap some of them into healthier social habits (a stretch for sure, but I’m hopelessly optimistic).
I dunno. I half agree, but I also think there’s value in continuing to promote Lemmy. I don’t want all of Reddit here, but I wouldn’t say no to a few more exodus booms of users here.
If people didn’t care about reddit then why would they be upset that it’s fucking everyone over? A lot of people, myself included, would still be there if Spez wasn’t a sack of shit

y’all need to touch grass
Can we not be pissed about the main site we used for entertainment and news telling us to fuck off after ten years of normalcy?
Carry your ass to Squabbles or some shit. This ‘touch grass’ comment is is as original as the ‘fuck around find out’ shit that’s played out.
We only touch Spez
Some fetishes are best kept hidden.
Yes
What better way to show how much you don’t care about Reddit than to spend all your time talking about it?

Fr. I thought we would have gotten this out of our system by now.
We’re handling this breakup about as well as a woman faking a pregnancy.

Some people are stompers, some are walkers
And some are wankers.
