i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

      That’s true, but Lemmy could potentially be different. The fact that it’s a federation means some instances can go mainstream and become more like reddit, and others can be more exclusive and try to preserve their atmosphere/culture.

      Yup, it happened to Facebook, then reddit. Overrun by idiots.

      Sadly, you’re right; Lemmy’s quality will most likely tank just as hard as Reddit when it goes mainstream.
