    Hard to say since it’s totally subjective. I’m not in love with Lemmy as an ActivityPub service to start with. Devs have enough closet skeletons and the UX just seemed… not my style. Lemmy World, at least from the join list, had zero personality. It also expanded incredibly quickly, to the point that I truly am skeptical any kind of local moderation is going to be possible for a while. I have a feeling I am going to have to start filtering content from it myself – my front page is being absolutely assblasted with porn, stupid memes, and low-effort posts all coming in from LW already.

    Long term? Probably not a big deal. But in these early days, it is a turnoff. LW is a firehose right now, and the mod tools available are not yet up to that task.
