What's nice here is that the upvote to comment ratio is pretty low compared to reddit and other platforms, meaning one upvote here means a lot more than one upvote on reddit.

Also each post sparks cool and unique discussions so you get more out of reading and participating in the comment section.

And that's why I love this place

True. To me, Lemmy feels somewhat more like the old vBulletin forums I used to browse 15 years ago.

Each upvote is also less likely to be a bot.
