How exactly did Reddit become a top website and what does Lemmy need to do to eventually get there?

Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

You’re not getting one without the other.

Let's bet we can do it.

I wouldn’t take that bet.

Hope helps, try it!

Hope has no place in reality. I accept thing for what they are, not what I’d like them to be.

Lies, you have hope otherwise you would not be alive to live, you pretend otherwise to look tough.

Do you always edit the posts of people you don’t know? Ever heard of nihilism? I’m going to guess not.

Hit the bricks kid.

I didn't think people like you had reached Lemmy yet, but here we are, more work to keep it good now.

Nihilists are everywhere. And considering that you wish to be segregated from people that think different than you-

Which of us are closer to being a Redditor?

Not people who think different from me in general, but the specific behaviors who try to suck the positivity out of communities. I don't have something against redditors in general, either.

I’m not trying to do anything. I’m stating my opinion which is based on my world-view.

How about you learn to not assume that you know what others are about?

People will assume what you are about based on how you behave in the community.

That seems like it’s a problem of people. Not me. You should fix that in yourself.

I'd rather have dumb r/funny people in here than bitter mindless negativity

You’re welcome to go back to Reddit. Plenty of mindless people there.
