Is anyone else enjoying the slower pace of content? (lemmy.ml)

I had been feeling a bit drawn in to reddit for the past few months before the divorce. I feel like the slower pace at which content comes out on Lemmy is good for me in that way. I can't just scroll and scroll and scroll my entire day away.

Does anyone else feel similar?

It's probably not going to last.

We'll see in July whether the influx of former Reddit users brings with it Reddit-style rudeness, anger and hatred. Let's hope not. I'd expect though that as Lemmy grows it will come to the attention of the bad actors who deliberately sow division and provoke. In that case I just hope there remain smaller instance, perhaps unfederated from the bigger ones, where people can still have a good conversation.

Honestly, it's guaranteed to be worse than Reddit taken as a whole. Someone will make a jailbait or fatpeoplehate instance and there will be no banning it, only defederating. Authority is a double-edged sword, and so is the lack of it.
