Personally I've been surprised at how little I miss Reddit! Which goes to show just how much value it had lost, I think. I can't speak for anyone else, but participating on Reddit felt very enervating in the last few years. Will this be downvoted? Will this get me banned? Why would ANYONE downvote that comment? etc. It wasn't a safe place to be, but that's not the primary problem; a little uncertainty can lend spice to a situation. Rather, it was like being in a big room with a fairly large number of bullies, any of whom could also turn out to have untrammeled authority and the desire to abuse it.

I always felt that Reddit should have been run democratically. Perhaps we'll start seeing Lemmy instances that are run that way!
