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 feel like that will even itself out in time. With a huge influx of Redditors, comparing the services is going to be a hot topic for awhile. The communities need to settle and the people who will stay will stay. Over time, it'll be less self-referential and more original content I think.

I hope so, it's been like two full months since lemmy has been 85 percent posts about reddit. If I see another fuck u/spez post I'm going to vom. I'm happy to be on the connect app though where I can hide those posts, makes browsing way more bareable
