Does anyone else hope the bulk of Reddit stays there?

MODERATORS
Conversation about hot topics is going to happen no matter what. As long as it stays respectful I think it's ok.
Many of them are not staying respectful though.
They have a fresh start on a new place, and they just choose to be miserable and brought the reddit over here.
Since a lot of the exodus was prompted by conflict, I wouldn't be surprised to see a higher proportion of folks here who speak conflict as a first language, at least for a while.
I kind of feel like without purposeful and diligent pruning, all online communities sink down to the lowest common denominator. That's hard to manage since a community is as much a vibe as it is conforming to a set of explicit rules. Personally I like the tildes.net code of conduct, since that's basically a similar philosophy.
That's a really solid take, but I'd say there's 3 practical types of conflict: discussion (disagreement with a lot of thought put into it - a category that I'd like to think my comments frequently fall into), shitposting (disagreement with little/no thought, or sarcasm), and hostility ("nah that's stupid, go !@#$ yourself").
The first 2 categories are the lifeblood of a very large number of thriving online communities. The last category needs to be unilaterally expelled from every corner possible.
Where are you seeing that? I haven't run into it yet besides very few scattered around, which is unavoidable on the internet, people love to fight :p
