Users from before the current wave of Reddit refugees, how do you feel about the incoming monsoon of refugees? (lemmy.ml)

I imagine there's excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too.

I'd especially be interested in the Lemmy devs' opinions.

I'm looking forward to the increase in traffic tbh. I have setup a pretty beefy instance with a ton of monitoring on it so that hopefully after the wave I can create a nice write up on what it would take to scale lemmy in the future. I'll keep everyone updated with the results!
