Whenever barrier to entry is discussed for lemmy, and reducing confusion for different servers is brought up, all of the isolationist comments come out of the woodwork.
Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit?
We have a platform that seems to be working and slowly growing. Shouldnt we want good defaults in place to give the best possible experience with minimal user effort?
Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
Diversity is paramount for social media, otherwise it becomes an echo chamber or worse.
Say what you will about the average redditor, but remember at a certain point they’re just the average person.
I mean, love me some Linux nerds and Germans as much as the rest of you but lemmy needs more.
Sure, but at the same time all of the worst comments I’ve seen have been from instances that were mainly linked to from reddit i.e. lemmy.world. Like, rage inducing misinformation. I prefer the much higher quality of discussions on lemmy which I would rarely see on reddit, but it is tiring seeing linux lotr star trek politics be 99.9% of the content / discussions…
