Maybe it’s accelerating? I just learned of this migration and immediately made an account. I hated the old reddit mods for stymying conversation by removing everything that didn’t fit that individuals narrative. I was actually pro API changes because it pissed off reddit mods. Do you want Lemmy to be like reddit was in terms of moderation? I don’t want a cesspool like twitter; I do want people to be less remove/ban heavy.
I’ll migrate here permanently if I can get a version of reddit where the idiots who only care about jokes and upvotes stay over there.
No, definitely don’t want it to be like reddit with bans and removes.
There’s a down vote button for a reason, so I think communities moderate themselves with that. Down voted comments will remain, just at the bottom of threads so people can see. I also hate some of the rules regarding what type of questions to post and some posts getting removed because they broke a rule. Again, down votes and comments can steer the OP in the right direction.
The only thing I want migrating from reddit is the scope: the fact that every hobby, brand and platform had a universal forum was nice.
