Reddit Migration

I can relate very much.

for the first time in a longer time, I see that most commented are just nice and honest instead of the cascade of misunderstanding and closed minded discussions I sometimes had on Reddit.

I, like many of the other replies, feel quite the same. Although I think the highlight of this for me is just how less aggressive and how much more receptive and open to discussion people have been. tbf i still mostly lurk but I've commented more here in a few days than I have in the final few years I was on reddit.

Here, I feel that I can experience a similar feeling to the fun of the pioneering rural countryside, where people cut through the wasteland to build fields and houses, and discuss the news over tea with their neighbors.

Reddit posts would only get acknowledged if you said one of the pre-approved comments. Commenting felt pointless because so many of the upvoted and comments that actually got engaged with felt like they were written by a bot or just automatically generated by reddit.

"fuck about, find out"

"maybe, just maybe..."

*"I'll take for 500, Alex" *

"They had us in the first half, not gonna lie"

I wonder how may of the commenters were just bots.

Feeling the same. I love commenting and posting, whereas on Reddit I was always nervous and felt like I was shouting into an empty void, like you said.

I hope it lasts, because it's so cozy here so far.

I did not see any SteamDeckEmu replacement so I made my own. I would have never have done that on Reddit. The future of the Fediverse depends on the content provided by the users! Unlike Reddit, there are no bots generating content and this is solely a human focused network

@Deralax and you can interact with people outside of kbin too. The fediverse really is awesome.

I’ve made more posts and comments here in the past week than I did on Reddit for a long time. I think I have 80 posts now it’s insane and like nearly 300 comments. This place is fun

Same here. It’s feels a lot more welcoming to post in topics!

It does feel a bit better, but I still struggle to contribute. It feels like it's a bit noisy still - maybe I just need to reduce how much content I'm subscribed to.

I'm more of a lurker but I'm more compelled to comment here because of the default sort algorithm in comments, you get a mix of newer and upvoted, so even if I comment on an older post, or one with a lot of comments I don't feel like I'm shouting to the void.

the fediverse feels a lot more welcoming to interact with tbh, with reddit you had

>astroturfing

>reposters

>puns and shitposts soaring to the top of comments / subs, real discussion buried

and i dont feel any of that here

I've been feeling the same way. It's why I've been much more active in comment chains and why I've replied to a lot more posts, though I still have a bit of trouble with actually posting.

I feel the same way I almost never commented on reddit, but here I feel like its just much easier to

Reddit has a high percentage of bots and shills so this is still real people thus more welcoming.
