Absolutely. This place may be less active, but discussions have definitely been much more civil and constructive. So far, I haven't had any toxic reactions to any of my comments, whereas on reddit no matter what you write or however careful you write it, there would always be someone taking offense at it or being awful in the comments.
I don't mind discussion or disagreement, but on reddit this often means "bringing the other guy down" instead of making your own point.
As this started happening more and more throughout the years, I've often wondered if it was me, if I was so out of touch, but it turned out it was really the children (redditors) who were wrong.
On Reddit, I gave up on engaging with anything that people even have strong opinions about years ago because I wasn't there looking for a bad time. It's a hard habit to get out of; I'm basically that pink blob in a box meme.
I haven't even questioned my assumptions on a lot of things because you would simply get attacked or banned for voicing any opinion contrary to the echo chamber you found yourself in so you just stopped thinking about it beyond don't interact with these people.
I couldn't agree more, discussion is a lot more civil. Even when we're all disagreeing I've found people are giving each other room to put their point forward and listened (apart from one climate chnage thread but nothings perfect).
if there's global warming why is it so cold right now? heh, gottem.
Hah it was something similar if not a little more about billionaire simps....
Sometimes Skinner is right.
I'm learnding
Hi supernintendo chalmers!
Lol don't go to lemmygrad.ml is all I can say.
I would like to know why, why is it that chill people came here and why most of the awful people stayed there
my personal hypothesis is that the empathic and constructive people are exactly the ones driven away by the money hungry deconstructing antics that reddit leadership currently display.
That's a great way to filter people in some way. I wonder for how long this will last. I'm not saying it can't be permanent but I'm sure at some point it will attract awful people
My farfetch hypothesis :
365 days x 30_000 (accounts / day)
= about 11 million accounts
So it could be bad in a year
The first batch of people to make the jump IMO would have been quite open-minded and not afraid to try something new.
Add in the entry barriers (When I joined, the big instances had either closed or manual signups, prior to lemmyworld and shititjustworks exploding in popularity) and that kind of faff probably weeded out trolls and people looking to cause trouble.
A lot of the "awful" people don't care about the API or Spez's attitude, they just want to consume, so have no reason really to make the jump to Lemmy/Kbin
because they have a significantly higher tolerance for bullshit
Awful people are, more often than not, lazy people.
I once made a joke about abandoning abrahamic religions and going back to human sacrifice.
A neckbeard, a nazi and a heroin addict got offended because of that. Seriously, fuck Reddit.
You are wrong and a dumb dumb I win gootbye
You misspelled dumdum, dumdum. (/s just in case that wasn't clear)
