Lemmy reminds me of why I even liked Reddit in the first place. Honestly, it makes me worry how it’ll change if it grows.

Same here. I was on reddit for 12 years, and without my realizing it, my experience evolved from fun engagement to obsessive and bitter daily ideological battle.

Coming here, I’m reminded of how reddit felt when I first joined.

I’m afraid of that going away with userbase growth (and not just growth but targeted manipulation by anti-communication trolls).

And it’s so refreshing to see straightforward integers that increment as you cast votes, and not reddit’s super sketchy fuzzy scores.
