I get better responses here on Lemmy with my longer replies, which is great. Reddit feels overall dumber now where people will try and argue that your comment with sources is somehow less compelling than someone else’s sourceless opinion (true story).

I’m having far better interactions on Lemmy.

My favorite thing about Lemmy is that you can comment on an article that's several hours old and get responses. Reddit was so big that if you didn't comment on major articles within a couple minutes of being posted, your comment would get buried under a thousand other comments and would never be seen. Commenting became a game of which top level comment you could possibly sneak your comment as a response to, even if it wasn't really a "response" to what the person had said, just to get your comment seen and have a chance at sparking a discussion.

Same. I've had mostly positive interactions with Lemmy. The content is slow to come in, but more enjoyable to read and interact with

I've had the same experiences actually. It's also a lot more common (at least from what I've experienced) to find people being more composed here even in the face of some divisive or provocative content.
