i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

    I just jumped from reddit and hope this is true. I can’t stand the toxicity there anymore.

      Welcome! There are hot topics (I’ve noticed politics and inflation being spicy), but by and large great experience.

      The smaller communities might be small, but they surprisingly don’t lack in engagement IME. Basically everyone is new so when a community has 10 members, those 10 members have probably been online this week checking their feeds and messages.

        Thank you, you make me hopeful! I won’t lie, reddit is starring to affect my mental well being and I am not sure I am fully out of it. I have uninstalled the app so far and staying away from it, what I want is reading news and good conversations if they happen and less negativity as possible. Have you noticed an improvement in your relation with social media here?

      I’ve been somewhat active here since the blackout. It had been pretty rare to see downvotes unless someone is being exceptionally crude. Engagement is more organic. Tighter. It actually feels sort of like reddit did 15 years ago. Everything is new and shiny and buggy and beautiful.

      I left because of the moronic double standards of many subs. Post something that is informative for the sub and the mods delete your post without reason. Yet constant low effort post about account recovery,is my console safe in this location and various other billshit stays. The Playstation sub is bad for that.
