i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

    Typically, yes, but the brigaders have found their way here, so don’t expect it to last long.

    I find everyone more open to discussion here and not snippy.

    I wonder if it was just that Reddit was really polarized by the The Donald segment of its population and what happened with that community, which don’t seem to have come over here, since that made things rather hostile on Reddit. Whatever we are politically here seems to be pretty quiet this far, other than agreeing the insane stuff Republicans are doing in the US.

    I’ll admit, I’ve had far better experiences here than I have on Reddit; Lemmings aren’t as prone to argue on nonsensical topics as Redditors are.

    That being said, there are still more than a few nasties here.

    Agreed! Found some bad apples here and there lately, but in general people are nicer and more civil.

    It may be because there in reddit, there generally are more comments to a thread and newer threads faster. The people who respond to the older threads are generally more likely to be assholes. Maybe it has to do with the type of people who browse them, or maybe it has to do because of the people who’d rather follow profile histories to gaslight someone than participate in the community, or maybe the fediverse really is nicer because it doesn’t thrive on engagement thus avoiding the need to artificially create conflict. Who knows.

    Keep in mind bots are always nice. We can’t be here only for be friendly but also to drop our unpopular opinions and sometimes fight and dealing with the fact that we can’t like or be liked by everyone.
