Reddit was so combative at times, it felt like I was getting into arguments with people on there a lot. I like seeing Lemmy grow and new people join, and I just wanna enjoy it and not argue with people about stupid shit. Let's just all have fun!

I hope so too. I stopped commenting on reddit a while back because it was just such an unenjoyable, unrewarding experience. Felt like users just got their dopamine by being contrarian about anything and everything.

Those users will come here. Best thing we can do is not engage. Just downvote, block, and delete those people from your memory. They aren't worth your energy. Embrace the amiable community instead.

Some of those users will come, but I doubt they'd want to stay on here for long. Many are turned off by the decentralized organization of Lemmy; they'll probably just return to Reddit or go somewhere else to rant.

I might end up going with both places in the end. Here is nice, but certain niches of mine work better with the established subreddits for them. But I'll post/comment here simply because it will be nice when this place does become decently active.
