A lot of questions on here are aimed at the reddit users experiences, but I’ve been wondering what the older users thought of his move. Are there any reddit cultures you are hoping do not come with the users? Are you confident or fearful of the growth coming from the reddit community? I’m curious how the reddit influx is changing these communities either for better or for worse.

    I worry that you can take the users out of Reddit, but you can’t take the Reddit out of the users.

      Yeah but so many of the users are bots or karma farmers or assholes though. Even if we only get the assholes, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad!

      I’m one of the new refugees, but I think I know what you mean. My Reddit account is over a decade old, but I probably had less than a dozen posts. I lurked almost exclusively. So far, it does seem like there’s more appetite for constructive discussion here, and it feels more rewarding to participate in it.
