I imagine there’s excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too.

I’d especially be interested in the Lemmy devs’ opinions.

    I hope the reddit echo box ‘our way or the highway’, ‘everything is a pun’ mentality doesn’t transfer over as well

      When someone shares a personal story about his wife’s struggle with cancer and the top reply is “I also choose this guy’s dead wife”

        To each his own I guess. To me it’s too much of the same regurgitated over and over again like a meme that stopped being funny years ago

          Yeah, when a simple bots can post most of the replies. E.g. if post.contains("r/theydidthemath") { post.reply("/r/theydidthemonstermath"); } then it’s gone too far. There are some good, creative ones, like The Old Reddit Switch-a-roo, but they’re too few and far between.

        Agreed, I hope there is room for pun threads here too.
