I’m a lemmygrad user, so it’s been a little annoying dealing with people who wander in to troll but it’s not too bad

I’m in Lemmy for, like, two years? Mostly lurking. I’ve been looking for alternatives for longer than that though.

I feel like the monsoon is mostly welcome. Content quality may decrease a bit, but the quantity will make up for it. And quantity is what has been missing IMO.

In special I’m hoping for specialised instances about some subjects that I enjoy. I like the Lemmy instance but stuff like anime and conlanging “feels” off-topic here.

I’m all about it! Great to see a platform take off when it’s centered around being ad free and open sourced.

Well:

• I’m annoyed at calling people who dislike an app and choose another website “refugees”
• I’m happy that we’re going to have more activity
• I hope more instances will be built and maintained, because I don’t think the large number of new members can be moderated effectively if they keep flocking to the same handful of instances
• When in doubt, I hope moderators will be too strict rather than not enough, especially in the beginning to make sure the behavioural expectations are very clear
