I’ve been really enjoying my time here lately and I have noticed things.
-
discussions are more chill. On Reddit people would get into flame wars over things and here while it happens it’s not as bad, and I actually enjoy spending time here.
-
people are nicer.
-
moderation is amazing.
-
diversity in thoughts is also amazing.

Same. The fragmentation is actually a good thing imo. Makes it easier to keep the extremists contained in their own choleric bubble.
Also makes it much more civil when big changes happen. Like beehaw actually made a post about defederating as they care about our opinions. Instead of just going “we’re doing it, fuck you”. They care about us. And if we don’t like them, we can just change instances. That’s ultimately our call, and we don’t lose out on the content, we can still view it if we want to.
100% - I am so amazingly refreshed every day about the quality of interactions I’ve had here. I don’t miss it at all, I’m glad this isn’t reddit.
