I'm not dismissive, just acknowledging one reason why that not everyone is happy about the new folks (there's always a weird in crowd nbd.)

It seems that those of us who look beyond the hype are a minority. Lemmy has potential but also serious problems. Bots are an obvious one, meta and co invading sooner or later is another. Tankies are something that we need to keep talking about and keep an eye on any politically influenced moderating, esp. on lemmy.ml
