It feels like people are a lot nicer here than on Twitter and Reddit, and even when people disagree, it’s generally civil and not an all-out flame war. Also, there’s no algorithm promoting outrage all the time.

For me, the anticipation of toxicity was a huge deterrent for me ever participating in real discussions, but here I feel like I can be myself.

I think it’s healthier this way.

    I stopped regularly using reddit years ago once i realized it was just a boring hivemind circlejerk. I’m pretty new to this lemmy and fediverse thing and I think it’s really cool and refreshing how down to earth and not circle-jerky the communities are. The potential for something awesome is exciting.
