How do you older Lemmy users feel about the large influx of reddit users? (lemmy.world)

A lot of questions on here are aimed at the reddit users experiences, but I've been wondering what the older users thought of his move. Are there any reddit cultures you are hoping do not come with the users? Are you confident or fearful of the growth coming from the reddit community? I'm curious how the reddit influx is changing these communities either for better or for worse.

Just go with the harsh moderation.

Well that requires either becoming staff or persuading existing staff, and I just ain't got time for being mod, and the devs (idk about other staff) certainly don't have the time to weild some iron fist, even if they were so inclined.

I guess the irony is then, Reddit is going to experience this exact problem as mods have fewer tools at their disposal.
