It's nice having a place where people can (fake) argue about beans and insignificant things, post fire memes, and do some classic old Internet banter.

It feels like I'm at an early 2000's Lan party, and the worst person you'd come across is helpful, but kind of a dick about it.

Hopefully it stays that way, the relative lack of structure is pretty magical since almost everyone seems to be genuine about using this place to be hilarious.

Every time there is a dig>reddit>lemmy progression, the beginning phase is generally the same tone and atmosphere, because it's the same people who are continually forced to move when the old place gets overrun by special interest nonsense.

It's barely been a week and the spirit of message boards that everyone loved about reddit has already rooted in Lemmy. I'd happily pay for a subscription to keep this place rooted in its current culture.

Reddit has been past it's prime for several years now for a lot of people who were missing exactly what is happening here
