Sometimes people need a reminder that we’ve all been the infestation at one time or another. Maybe some of us were never a Redditor, but we were all in a similar position somewhere, sometime, in some context. But I know well that even Redditors are capable of growing and changing as people. And a Redditor having an interest in Lemmy is definitely a sure sign of being deserving of being given a chance.
“Ew gross a Reddit” is a W I L D view in a 'verse that is 80% ex-Redditors or similar, whether it be through centralization refugees, or outright ban exiles.
Straight up pissy 4channer-tier ‘you use the bad website!?!?!?!?!?’ purism is pretty cringe.
Oh, no need to remind me, I’m not even a former but a current redditor. I just find the idea of the little reddit alien being a pest funny. Maybe precisely because I’m still on the site…
Well said. I came over a few years back when lemm.ee was still a thing, and there were hardly ever comments on posts. The growth has been noticeable and it’s been mostly good. It’s not like the fediverse doesn’t have plenty of its own drama and idiots, so as long as new users are adding to the engagement in meaningful ways, I welcome them.
