All the principled pirates have jumped ship to lemmy so it was bound to happen sooner than later.

    I don’t think so. I think Lemmy already & inherently has many of the same problems. People are people, no matter where you go.

    Lemmy is only better because it’s not centrally controlled.

      The problems would only get exacerbated if more of them migrate over here, that’s the issue. I don’t think decentralization would solve the issues that’d come with people mass redditposting and shitting all over the place, especially considering the vast majority of users are in lemmy.world, so what good would that do when the majority of the userbase are centralized in a single instance?

        I doubt that it would make Lemmy significantly worse. I’ve already had to block nearly a hundred lemmy communities for containing the “mindless trash” that is abundant on reddit. The reality is that most people aren’t smart and don’t want to browse and participate in intellectual content. They want to mindlessly scroll through endless memes. I have not observed that people on lemmy are overall more intelligent than people on reddit.
