Its OK for Lemmy to be a little rough around the edges. Its about the people who are here.

I appreciate that every post doesn' have 3000 comments. I can actually contribute to a discussion and get heard.
Also, on Reddit when you post a comment that gets even a little bit popular and visible, you always get some asshole who misrepresents your point and wants to pick a virtual fight.
I never know when to engage or ignore.
In any case, it's never satisfying. Ignore and you feel bad. Engage and you feel bad.
Lemmy is nicer. Way less assholes.
It's way fewer assholes, idiot
humour
If you can't tell, this is a jokeIdk, I always thought that about 1 asshole per human was a good ratio to have, it's a proven design
What about animals?
Definitely more than one animal per human, animals are cool!
yeah there’s plenty to go around :)
For now :'(
be sure to get one while supplies last
Always clarify or add an /s. It’s not worth it. Good job
You're wrong. People always understand sarcasm.
Lol. You’re right!
personally i dont take grammar seriously. u somehow need to chill
Somehow
Not even the fight and the downvote is enough for them. Then it turns into mod complaints and permabans.
And not so long ago, you did get heard, but there was also a 50/50 chance of being called a capitalist pig and a baby killer regardless of what you contributed.
It seems that everyone has found their own corners on Lemmy now, so that is nice.
It's because it's not as homogeous a platform since the flood from Reddit. The problem with any small platform isn't strictly because they're small, mind you, but a side effect of getting bigger is usually more people and that means more a diverse range of opinions. So the assholes are more drowned out.
It's not a hard and fast rule but that's usually what I've noticed.
This is how I read at first, and was like, same bro, same.
💀 same
Did you head over to lemmynsfw?
Of course I did!
thats because we dont have those threads were anyone would elaborate on the upper comment with a stupid reply, and that reply gets replied to with another slightly different but also stupid reply..here we get actual comments and replies..wanna learn alphabet ? go to kindegarten .. it helps to have a mature and respectful userbase, which also wouldn't require much effort to moderate. sometimes it costs nothing to be nice .. in the long run we needed access to a social platform afterall, might as well stand by our values and preserve it
