How do pre-reddit influx lemmy members feel? (self.asklemmy)

I was wondering how the pre-reddit lemmy members feel about the influx of ex-reddit. Have things got worst or better? Is there any lemmy etiquette that we are missing?

Jesus Christ, I'm not a tankie 😄

I'm a 'reddit is too ban friendly' guy.

I also mentioned in another comment that the false equivalency example might not have been too great. Hope you see where I'm coming from.

Ah yes, I see where you're coming from now. I'm sure you can understand I'm quick to go on the defensive/offensive after dealing with how it is on reddit 🤣

I definitely agree, they're definitely way too ban happy as of late.

It's incredibly refreshing to have an actual conversation that doesn't immediately dissolve into accusations and name-calling though, and I greatly appreciate your replies and I'm very much looking forward to using Lemmy know. I'll just have to work on my tendencies I've acquired from reddit 🤣

I'm gonna remove that edit as it was kinda dramatic anyway and I wrote it from the viewpoint of, I just woke up at the time and I'm used to how the reddit hivenind runs. This is an extremely refreshing community just from our interaction here so, hate to be repetitive but, I'm even more excited for this community now.

Haha, the feelings mutual. I lurked on Reddit , having imaginary arguments with strangers and never quite commenting.

If you see one of the comments on this thread , both of what we said as examples could be misconstrued for violence. Certainly didn't think before i wrote it.

We're both learning , friend 👍
