Some aspects of it are just as bad because they are the human aspects and will plague anything made by or for humans. Attention removed, power hunger, confusion, people who see any gathering of people as something they can exploit, things like that will be a part of any community. Though it does seem like there’s less of that here (which is why I’m ok with it not being as popular as Reddit became).

There’s other things I’m not seeing nearly as much of here. There isn’t the same bot presence. Troll farms don’t seem to be here yet either (though it’s probably only a matter of time). Admins aren’t acting like powerful dictators since most of the users here just left a place because of that and will do it again. These things will all likely get worse with popularity, too.
