        Humans do not suck. Some of us do because our societal systems are gamed to that endeavor. Other social systems are not and produce better humans, and some humans evolve to be better because of and despite those systems.

          I agree with the conclusion that mostly when people get better it’s due to luck and pure random chance.

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

    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.

      I hate this kind of talk. For me the point of the fediverse isn’t that it’s cool because it’s niche, but that it’s cool because it’s a solution to a systemic problem with Social Media. I want Lemmy to get big and messy and full of obnoxious people. I think that’s a GOOD thing. Because then they’ll be on the fediverse, and not on a platform owned by a single billionaire

        The fediverse won’t survive that kind of growth in its current form.

        Federation requires mutual trust. As soon as there are enough users to make it a target, and a sophisticated threat appears, it will be impossible to avoid manipulation.

        lemmy.world will defedrate from everyone.

        I don’t think this is “bad”, just a predictable future of the fediverse.

    I don’t really like the parroting of in-jokes thing. Probably any sufficiently long lived large group will probably have in-jokes, but reddit-isms always grated the most.

    I think the fediverse is a series of individuals who will create microcultures. we will not all be interacting with everyone and will be what we will be.

    It’ll develop. Whether it should or not eventually Lemmy will develop its own distinct online culture which carries across instances, topics and communities.

    I know people will think it won’t have its own particular culture because it’s decentralized etc etc but I remember people saying the same thing about Reddit in like 2011. The smaller community identities either got absorbed into the larger idea of what a “redditor” is or the subs just died.

    It’s a little early to say, but Lemmy culture so far has a lot of carryover of Reddit. Which makes sense considering most people here probably used Reddit first. In my experience Lemmy yo-yos between reddit but grumpier and reddit but more conversational. It reminds me a lot of early reddit in that people put more effort into their comments than other places, but also has an air of confident pseudo-intellectualism. There’s no real hivemind yet but there are generally popularized norms.

    Most of us are here because reddit is shit and unusable. Why would we want that here?

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

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