I, personally, would prefer slower linear and more organic growth. I want people to be here because the want to come, not because they want to run away from somewhere else.

But I do acknowledge that there was not much discussion going on and was not enough content for my procrastinating habits, nor I could keep myself informed in current events.

Thou I have had lemmy.ml account for three years now I never heard of beehaw before this reddit wave started, so that might be on me.

While I am positive overall, I do not like that some bad habits from reddit are resurfacing here, mostly not being able to have different opinion without someone insulting you.

I hope there will be enough instances where discussion and difference in opinion will be nurtured and welcome.
