I doom scroll far less.

I comment more and have better discussion.

I feel more at home, but I was always on the geeky subreddits with a FOSS bent anyway.

Same here. I had like a single-digit comment count on Reddit because it seemed like anything I had to say was either chucked straight into the garbage bin of buried threads that never took off, or lost in a sea of thousands of similar comments. I've posted more here in a few weeks than 10+ years on Reddit. It feels like there is at least ROOM for conversations here instead of just bickering or meme comment chains.
