My growing concern for this community surviving is that it develops its own identity. My fear is that it's becoming a dumping ground for Reddit infighting and not much else. Obviously, it's early days still, but I don't quite remember this when migrating over from Digg years ago. I feel like the community mostly just made fun of Digg and went on to post new and engaging content. This feels different, and not in a good way.

We need a megathread to follow somehow. It's really hard to follow this without going to Twitter and Reddit at the moment.
The dust just needs to settle. Imagine an actual physical migration had just occurred. Chances are people will be talking a lot about that before a new and unique culture emerges, but give it time and we'll find our way.
As far as I am concerned it's just Lemmy/Kbin for life.
Are you really looking to argue with someone about how they should feel?
I see Reddit is leaking.
Perhaps we could get John Oliver?
You're looking at it from the wrong direction. It's what age is the cut off that gaming was the norm growing up, and therefore remains a part of the culture at any age. I'm 38 and most people I know, both men and women, are into some type of gaming. I feel I'm already fairly close to that line so if you're looking at just a decade ahead, you grew up in the 70s and early 80s when gaming was just truly making it's first rise. For my generation in the 1990s though it was almost an expectation of childhood and making friends. Looks like you have to start dating people in their 30s.
If the protest wasn't working, we'd all still be on Reddit.
I love that Spez is just pushing the most active members of Reddit over here. Bring on the good mods.
She kinda stared back at me, as if to gauge what to say. Then said that he was the type of person that brings all the awful things out from under their rocks, and told me to keep my eyes open and pay attention, because if he got elected, the next 4 years will be the type of history that only happens once in a lifetime.
Your aunt was right, but there is a positive force to this happening. It's like boiling chicken stock. It raises the scum to the top which makes it easier to remove. While it stirred up a mess for us, that mess was always there. Now we can at least easily spot it and collectively work towards removing it.
We need to quickly move past Reddit. We cannot be consumed by it or we will repel newcomers. This needs to become it's own special place with it's own character. It'll take time. Be patient.
