    I am one hundred percent okay with not having people migrate so soon. I’ve been enjoying the good vibes here!

      Seriously, I don’t want to convince ANYONE that’s still over there to move over here. The reason discourse here is so good is because people here are either intelligent, principled, motivated, forward-looking, or a combination of the four. We don’t need the dregs. Maybe unpopular opinion, but with trash people we will get trash content. Reddit was trending that way long before the API meltdown, and Lemmy moderation is not ready for that.

      And lemmy.world’s c/atheism isn’t as big of a “religious people bad reee” circlejerk as r/atheism, it seems a lot more nuanced in its criticisms of religion and mostly takes the “love the non-forceful believer, hate the belief” approach. I really don’t want to see that change, the neckbearded assholes on its original reddit version are a big reason why we’re hated. I also appreciate lemmy.ml and lemmygrad being considered laughingstocks for their tankieness, as opposed to everyone who dares criticize them for that being downvoted to oblivion and screeched at by wealthy 13-year-old Americans who just discovered politics and think they’re communist just because they say “comrade” every 5 seconds, know 2 russian words (both of which are obscenities) and “bravely” blasted the soviet anthem in class and then crying on reddit about how they got bullied for telling that one kid of ukrainian descent about how their great-grandparents were time traveling slave owners who deserved it.
