I actually prefer this over reddit. Currently, I’ve yet to come across any infighting or holier than thou types and it’s nice. People on here are more real and don’t seem like keyboard warriors who think they know everything with no real world experience. I’m sure they are here, but I haven’t come across any yet.
Just like Reddit used to be a while ago
I was a late comer to Reddit really. Only had my account for a little over a year. I rarely went looking for subs to join unless I saw something that piqued my interest there. Here not only am I finding more relatable content to my likes, although I’m still looking for some of my fav sub refugees to start some of the subs I followed here, I have also started my own community here for something I am passionate about.
Yeah, the hostility in conversations for innocuous things that was prevailing Reddit seems to be minimal here.
I went back today and posted about how it’s not so bad here, and holy fuck did I get attacked. Although, I think like two people from all that liked what they saw. So it was worth it.
People don’t like change.
