I’m liking Lemmy more because the last few years of Reddit were just so filled with dumbfucks that missed obvious jokes/sarcasm and had shitty comments to make on questions, it was bumming me out. I can ask questions and get answers. I can make a joke and people get it (it might suck, still, but they understand it’s a joke). I feel like this is where people who can, and actually do, read and understand everything before responding are hanging out.

Don’t worry, me and other new users will get that corrected ASAP!
But for real, the users and vibe here seem far less caustic and I’m enjoying it. It’s been a nice journey recognizing that I want hooked on Reddit because of content so much as because of the dopamine hit I got from endlessly scrolling through a lot of low effort content.
Anecdotal, but I don’t see the rush to downvote legit opinions because people disagree with them. Lemmy seems a lot more chill at present.
i dunno, i keep getting into arguments with tankies. they like the downvote button
