MODERATORS
 

For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

Once we have critical mass, I think we can have meaningful discussions. However, if 300 million threads users become regulars in these instances, expect the worst of redditism. Every comment will be memes or jokes.

I don't think you're going to have the same level of control over the speech of others on here as you had on reddit.

Probably the leftist echo chamber thing. You know, a place where people can't just assume everyone agrees with their extreme political opinions, everyone hates Trump and loves Biden, everyone has no issue with homosexuality or trans kids or drag queens etc. You know.

So far Lemmy feels more like a leftist echo chamber than Reddit.
