do you want lemmy to have a different userbase and culture than reddit
or NO
mine is yes, since i dont want the fediverse users to bring their former platform’s bad habits with them
I would like it to, but I don’t think it’s gonna.
Culture can stay the same, for all I care. The important thing is keeping the bots out.
I think it doesn’t really matter as regarding moderation, it’s already identical to it.
Reddit has a bot culture. So, yes.
Reddit was an absolute behemoth and changed a lot over time.
Lemmy is going to have the culture it has.
Forced culture is what shaped all the failed platforms like Reddit, I don’t think I would like that.
Yeah, I agree, let’s force a non forced culture, with beans and hookers!
In trying to figure out if you misremembered the phrase “blackjack and hookers” or if '“beans and hookers” is some other reference, all I found were pages for Boston sex workers.
I just fused beans from Lemmy with the blackjack and hookers, instead of saying like beans and deans.
Blackbeans and hookers
What people hate about reddit is what people hate about mobs. If Lemmy ever gets as big as reddit, it will suck just as much.
that’s just facebook talking in you to keep the competition small
I hate this kind of talk. For me the point of the fediverse isn’t that it’s cool because it’s niche, but that it’s cool because it’s a solution to a systemic problem with Social Media. I want Lemmy to get big and messy and full of obnoxious people. I think that’s a GOOD thing. Because then they’ll be on the fediverse, and not on a platform owned by a single billionaire
The fediverse won’t survive that kind of growth in its current form.
Federation requires mutual trust. As soon as there are enough users to make it a target, and a sophisticated threat appears, it will be impossible to avoid manipulation.
lemmy.world will defedrate from everyone.
I don’t think this is “bad”, just a predictable future of the fediverse.
The mob already exists here
Yes, it is here sometimes and in part; on Reddit it is like the God of Spinoza–ever present in all things.
People suck. They’re going to suck here like they suck in reddit.
The people will create the culture naturally and naturally it will evolve over time and time again.
Lemmy already has several cultures independent of Reddit.
Beans, jeans, no pooping…
Thankfully there’s different instances
doesn’t stop people from flooding other instances with their instances culture
You don’t have you embrace Star Trek or Linux to hang out here. Not right away, anyway.
Having migrated a couple times, I’ve found that instances have their own culture and I don’t see anything wrong with that.
Most of us are here because reddit is shit and unusable. Why would we want that here?
I think the fediverse is a series of individuals who will create microcultures. we will not all be interacting with everyone and will be what we will be.
