Good for them, but the damage is already done. They seeded this place with a lot of users. Will it be enough? Who knows. But Lemmy is probably a looooot further along than if they didn’t shoot themselves in the foot.

This place obviously needs to continue with good content and active communities, but at moment I don’t really have the urge to open Reddit they way things are.

This place is a shit show worse than Reddit. The mods are far worse and have no moderation themselves. You can get banned for wrong think, or maybe not, you can't tell since they don't tell you you're banned or why.

Jesus Christ. The tone in the place has changed so much since I wrote that comment almost a year ago. Everyone is a contrarian neckbeard now, it’s so aggressive and insufferable.
