I think my favorite thing about Lemmy is that it feels like Reddit used to. Less negativity, more engaged users (I think). I know it will be fun to watch Reddit die, but if I put spite aside what Iโ€™m really mad at Reddit about is more about what Reddit became and maybe part of that is when the general internet user started going to Reddit and it became less like the small community it was years ago. Feel free to disagree or share an argument ๐Ÿ˜‰

People who cannot manage to sign up for an instance seems to be a very good filter to me. Learning about it takes 15 minutes. If you are not good enough for that, you are likely not good enough to contribute anything worthwhile either. Eventually Lemmy will get the good content and Reddit will become this text only version of Instagram, forcing them to learn, and we will have to spot and filter them as they try to invade Lemmy.
