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.

Reddit went downhill due to its investors demanding ad revenue. Do you see that being an issue here?

That is a very important factor, but there are also social and cultural factors unrelated to reddit's money-grabbing. This place won't just be good because it's nonprofit. Case study: Wolfballs.
