I would like to know why, why is it that chill people came here and why most of the awful people stayed there
my personal hypothesis is that the empathic and constructive people are exactly the ones driven away by the money hungry deconstructing antics that reddit leadership currently display.
That's a great way to filter people in some way. I wonder for how long this will last. I'm not saying it can't be permanent but I'm sure at some point it will attract awful people
My farfetch hypothesis :
365 days x 30_000 (accounts / day)
= about 11 million accounts
So it could be bad in a year
The first batch of people to make the jump IMO would have been quite open-minded and not afraid to try something new.
Add in the entry barriers (When I joined, the big instances had either closed or manual signups, prior to lemmyworld and shititjustworks exploding in popularity) and that kind of faff probably weeded out trolls and people looking to cause trouble.
A lot of the "awful" people don't care about the API or Spez's attitude, they just want to consume, so have no reason really to make the jump to Lemmy/Kbin
because they have a significantly higher tolerance for bullshit
Awful people are, more often than not, lazy people.
