I was wondering how the pre-reddit lemmy members feel about the influx of ex-reddit. Have things got worst or better? Is there any lemmy etiquette that we are missing?

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.
I have a pet peeve around people saying “this.” When they agree with someone. Idk why… I was hoping I wouldn’t see that here but unfortunately it’s cropping up.
My concern is that and a bunch of other reddit-isms flood the site. I don’t mind redditors coming here but I hope the site can still have its own identity.
There are a few others:
I mean this reddit post complaining about annoying phrases came out 9 years ago. 9 YEARS. And since then I continue to see so many of those and others.

I don’t want to gatekeep either. But certain phrases repeated over and over is just so irritating.
This.
