I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

The lemmyverse, is rife with sock puppets. It’s very easy to make a bunch of accounts for down voting. And brigading is easy here too, let’s not forget we have a general population, we don’t have specialized pockets really. So if something’s generally unpopular, but is technically correct, it will get downvoted regardless because the general people outweigh the individuals.
Overtime we might have communities that require community reputation to post in, or vote in, like we saw on Reddit.
I just want to say waiting for more data is always the right thing to do, especially with any new internet drama, so I respect your position
