I myself am really on the fence about this.

I hate what Reddit has done, as I was removed as a moderator on my sub. But I much prefer the UI to Lemmy so far. I’m also having a hard time understanding how this all works. I was familiar with Reddit, and it is obviously a way more active community.

But I also used Apollo and hate how they’ve done him so dirty.

Will you guys return if Reddit rights it’s wrongs?

    I remember the Voat semi-exodus, but as I recall that was all the communities that got banned. Voat turned into a cesspool real quick

      That was a big part of why they failed, yea.

      Federating seems like an excellent way of keeping the incels out, hopefully we don’t end up going that way

        That’s what I was thinking, though I’m curious to see what tools instance admins have at their disposal

          The fact that instances can limit the number of new users and de-federate with subs with lax rules helps a lot. Beehaw just did that themselves.

          I’d also point out that this exodus isn’t related with the banning of toxic communities from the platform, so I wouldn’t expect as many controversial new users to be flocking here as back then. We’ll see I guess.
