    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.

    Lemmy users are exactly like Redditors, just way more obnoxious.

    I actually find it hard to read comments on here, as a new user

      I am not queer but let’s market it as a platform for LGBT and all the wrong people will stay away

    There are a million little slices of each site/service, where the culture in that particular community or thread or specific comment chain can differ from somewhere else.

    So I would say that no, we shouldn’t make the fediverse a monoculture. And with that diversity within the fediverse, we can say that some parts will be similar to some parts of reddit, and some parts won’t. And some parts won’t be similar to some other parts of the same instance.

    Just let people be themselves. I think that the open source nature of the threadiverse will keep the culture pretty level headed. No algorithms trying to promote rage for clicks. It’s gonna be fine.

    I don’t want a copy of Reddit’s culture on Lemmy, but I think Lemmy’s culture will be similar because of the interaction format and because a sizable number of Lemmings I presume use Reddit and Lemmy both regularly. So it will be up to how close the viewer looks to determine if they seem the same or distinct.

    I think one thing I don’t see much on Lemmy are the very tired 3+ nested comment chains that don’t add conversational value, like “and my axe!”. I’ve only seen it very occasionally, and usually in good joking taste, for example the trope “[term OP used] means this, you probably were thinking of [also incorrect word]”.

    I want many cultures to digest the nonsesnse of this modern life. Reddit is a bot pig pin owned by the corpos. It is a filthy useless place. Some times I use redlib to see what the piggies are up to. You know intel. I have not used reddit for like a decade. I am too spicy. On lemmy you can get around banned from community and challenge the ignoramuses via smashing hug boxes.

    Having migrated a couple times, I’ve found that instances have their own culture and I don’t see anything wrong with that.

    Culture can stay the same, for all I care. The important thing is keeping the bots out.
