Does anyone else hope the bulk of Reddit stays there? (self.asklemmy)

I think my favorite thing about Lemmy is that it feels like Reddit used to. Less negativity, more engaged users (I think). I know it will be fun to watch Reddit die, but if I put spite aside what I’m really mad at Reddit about is more about what Reddit became and maybe part of that is when the general internet user started going to Reddit and it became less like the small community it was years ago. Feel free to disagree or share an argument 😉

I think when you throw a larger number of people together, it's just different, people have less of a point because it's probably already been made, and we are reduced to generalizations and argument.

So far I am not really missing my niche hobby communities. There is only so much to talk about on that one topic, and repetive, same point posts, and I'm sort of interested in everything anyway.

Im finding I am more interested in people in general, and learning, than my little interests and the repitive discussion surround it. For now.

I think it may come down to personality, and we can have both things here, because you can just spin up your own thing. I'm finding that I much prefer smaller communities. But that's just me, and lemmy etc is gonna become whatever it becomes regardless, and I'm just along for the ride.
