Of course, that’s to be expected, with people migrating from Reddit and all, but the title is kind of badly worded.

Feel there’s a lot more argumentative and just kind of… angry users on here. (have you seen Sync fans biting everyone’s asses over saying money should be spent funding instances and not an app?)

Live laugh love Lemmy though :)

    There’s a lot of people saying

    “Can we not do that reddit thing here?”

    Like it or hate it, reddit is a monolithic cultural icon. The things you think are “reddit” things are part of one of the most popular internet cultures of all time.

    Have you not heard of Barbara Streisand? As reddit fractures, it’s culture will bleed into every corner of the web their users occupy.

    You will not contain a culture with your opinions or words. Your options are:

    Accept it. Bite your tongue. Downvote. Don’t engage.

    Or

    Be miserable.

    For the love of God, stop complaining about it and trying to control it. Barbra Streisand.

      This is sad and defeatist

      Sure people will do people things but we have a chance to make communities that don’t put up with that kind of bullshit, and we should
