Presumably it's only going to get better over time. I was afraid I'd lose this part of the internet when Reddit went full corpo, but to be honest the quality of discussion on Lemmy makes up for the diminished content.

Honestly, my discussions have been nicer over here on the fediverse than they were on most parts of Reddit.

It's like small town, big city. Smaller communities are usually happier and more friendly.

I do want it to continue growing, but I will be enjoying it while it lasts.

For sure. Which is another great thing about this decentralization. If it a community gets too big and has too many asshats, you can easily break off into another instance!

I don't think Lemmy will be immune to that, but I think the decentralization will help a lot in controlling that negative aspect.

Yeah, it's 'cuz we're all the bleeding-edge nerds. The best people, in my opinion. ;)
