We actually have the best case scenario here in lemmy! Those people that yelled at mods for protesting and generally don't give a shit how awful spez is and how toxic reddit has become, don't give a shit about the api changes so they will stay on reddit!
Meanwhile the rest of us, even if it's a smaller number migrate here and foster a community of discussion, respect and not being a douchebag!
Even the apps that are popping up for lemmy, yes they are buggy, yes servers are slow, but not no-one really complaines because it's a worthy growing process.
Also, and this is by far the most important thing, this decentralized structure is absolutely vital to saving the internet.
We've all gotten funneled into like 5 major corporate sites, and we've let little sites die because of it. I hope with this trend we can reverse this and switch more to a donation model.
I hope everyone on here realizes that eventually we'll have to pay for lemmy and severs. We need to fund it, not for profit, but sustainability.
Fuck the ad model and fuck infinite growth for shareholders. Let's just make something nice we all pitch in a few bucks for and enjoy.
It's been about 5 years since I've really engaged at all with most of Reddit, the API drama and renewed push to populate the alternatives seems to have achieved exactly what you describe. I even think the small barrier to entry for registering an account in the Fediverse is filtering people.
Many of us have been longing for something like this to happen.
