I guess one thing I like already is that there’s no requirements for Karma, stupid rules about Reddit’s filters which got my 100k karma account permanently banned for no reason at all.
Would you prefer Lemmy to be smaller like it is now or get to a reddit level popularity but without the reddit jank.
It’s maybe hard to have alongside privacy, but I liked that on old forums, it was often real people. On one forum, there were a few meetups with BBQ. The site owner/admin called me on my birthday. It led to real-life relationships.
But the flipside to that is the infamous Reddit meetup.
