I’m sure it’s not going to last forever as this site grows in popularity but I feel like I can talk about whatever with minimal judgement here (and just overall no anxiety in comparison to everywhere else), just nice vibes all around ^^
This community feels a lot more thoughtful than most, doesn’t it? I have enjoyed reading everyones perspective immensely. I try to comment but honestly, I feel like most of the comments are so well thought-out that I don’t have a lot to add. It’s nice.
For me the absence of downvote has lowered the barrier to comment. On reddit I felt the same as you.
On another note, your account details say you are a bot?
Negative, I am a meat-popscicle!
I ticked the wrong box, I thought it was asking if I wanted to be able to see bot posts. I thought it meant like automods and stuff like that
Ah, fellow mobile biological co2 production facility. Carry on!
And now that you mention it, haven’t seen any bots around yet on the fediverse (except for a few spam bots).
Eh, I think that comes with a larger user base. I’m sure it is inevitable. Speaking of inevitablity, R U lonely? 💔 Come talking me ❤️❤️ click shadylink in bio
Yeah I’m mentally prepared for it. Trying to actually enjoy the smaller userbase while it lasts!
And yes bby 😛😛 I clicked the link and put my bank details pls respond
This is one of the few places on the internet where I actually enjoy interacting with people. Everyone has been really helpful to me especially as a newcomer to the fediverse.
It’s definitely got an interesting mix of activity and community that I really appreciate
Well you know what? We appreciate you too!
Yeah I love it. I started to get back into the bad habit of shitposting but have been deleting those comments before I post
Yeah it’s nice and chill here, and downvotes disabled is good, on Reddit the “Reddit hivemind” would downvote people because someone else did even though they were right!
And the crowd of an people feels older, like Reddit was 10+ years ago before it was kids and teenagers.
I suspect it’s also due to the required effort to get into the fediverse. I think in the last 3 years reddit made itself more and more similar to how other social platforms are, so that anyone can jump right in. Reddit used to be slightly more intimidating to get into and understand as well.
Yes, I have been a social media lurker just because I felt like there was some nefarious corporate entity trying to profit off my engagement, but it is nice to feel “free” here. Fediverse is the real Web3!
Exactly and I also wondered sometimes “am I even talking to a person here”. So often posts make it feel like they are pushing an agenda rather than a legit discussion.
Same. I don’t lost a lot but I’m happy to comment more because people seem like they genuinely want to talk or get info here. Likewise I’ll read longer comments and articles here (assuming I have time) for the same reason.
