Yea well none of this is really surprising. Lemmy is supposed to be a Reddit alternative and therefor it was always destined to fall victim to many of the same issues that plagued Reddit. Just because you get rid of centralization doesn't automatically make a platform or community good :-/. Can you believe the toxic responses we're getting to our comments? Absolute trash people in this community.
That's why I framed it as learning from the same mistakes Reddit learned from already. We've already seen how this plays out, why repeat it?
It will be repeated based on the clown replies we've gotten from community members here and the down votes we're currently accumulating. If you take clowns from Reddit and move them to Lemmy, they're still clowns. Why would anything change?
