I work in IT and the forums for that are the only reason I still have an account. But I rarely use it and will delete when hopefully the Lemmy community grows to include those as well
Depends on what area of IT you’re in as to whether or not this is even relevant, but have you seen the https://programming.dev/ Lemmy instance?
Maybe it's accelerating? I just learned of this migration and immediately made an account. I hated the old reddit mods for stymying conversation by removing everything that didn't fit that individuals narrative. I was actually pro API changes because it pissed off reddit mods. Do you want Lemmy to be like reddit was in terms of moderation? I don't want a cesspool like twitter; I do want people to be less remove/ban heavy.
I'll migrate here permanently if I can get a version of reddit where the idiots who only care about jokes and upvotes stay over there.
No, definitely don't want it to be like reddit with bans and removes. There's a down vote button for a reason, so I think communities moderate themselves with that. Down voted comments will remain, just at the bottom of threads so people can see. I also hate some of the rules regarding what type of questions to post and some posts getting removed because they broke a rule. Again, down votes and comments can steer the OP in the right direction. The only thing I want migrating from reddit is the scope: the fact that every hobby, brand and platform had a universal forum was nice.
