I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (lemmy.world)

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.

I had a pretty curated feed on reddit where I basically got rid of most subs that allowed toxicity. So I've actually noticed more toxicity since the switch. But I've also noticed that posts have more of a personal vibe hear that I'm all for.

I've generally found that avoiding the biggest crowds seems to also avoid some (though not all) of the worst behavior. More specialized subreddits, communities, and magazines tend to be more chill, and also more focused on their topics.
