I imagine there's excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too.

I'd especially be interested in the Lemmy devs' opinions.

@Uncreativechap All I can say is I am hopeful that on the political topics there will be a more diverse set of opinions and more mindful discussions, beyond the level of If you don't agree with me, you're clearly a glowie who supports US atrocities or the likes. Not to mention having more intellectual voices promoted and discussed than the one of Noam Chomski for example (with all due respect to his work on documenting US Government abuses and not only).

Otherwise, there will be a switch from lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead to Every instance is overloaded, use lemmy.ml and lemmygrad instead (in the best case scenario).

Edit: now regarding Lemmy as a whole, I don't know, I hope this turns out to be a great Reddit alternative. I strive to go on a more digital minimalistic life, so getting rid of another account without me needing to create a different one is always welcoming for me ๐Ÿ˜
