I am myself a newcomer, did a full switch straight from reddit.

However, I did it just a few weeks before mods and admins started to crack down hard on certain opinions. Guess I had seen the sign on the wall.

I believe reddit’s clear change of direction has pushed many more people into the lemmyverse, many of them just like me, straight from reddit.

I sense that recently the tone around many subs has shifted towards more agressive and more divisive, and other patterns I recognize all too well from my years on reddit.

Do other people sense this too? Am I on the right track or completely off?

    I would say I’m seeing perhaps a small wave of new users from Reddit though not nearly as big as the wave from the API changes.

    Thanks for putting some perspectve on it!
