General Discussion

I’d often type out a comment on the other site and the. I’d decide not to post it purely because I knew that I’d be flamed for daring to have an opinion of my own.

I disagreed with someone once (politely) over something extremely minor and got told to go die in a fire. So why would I post just to get shit like that?

Here though things do seem nicer and I really hope things stay that way. My fear is that with any large number of people you’re going to get those arse-hats who ruin it for others, but maybe they’ll stay on Reddit where they can act like wankers together.

Give it time, man.

I feel the same way, such a nice place here :)

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.

Well, this. I used to just lurk at the R site but over here I post and comment more freely.

Same. Half the time I would start writing a reply on Reddit only to abandon it out of feeling intimidated by the potential replies it might generate.

Due in part to the newness of the platform
