• I think there’s a lot of people who got turned off from commenting.

      It was so easy to gain the attention of some deranged Redditor when you commented, it was often just not worth it. Maybe that mindset came here and people are still warming up to the idea.

        Comments on articles and memes is okay, but comments and discussions on Reddit subs about specific topics and interests were very useful. Lemmy would definitely be better with more of that here.

      I have been writing a lot of comments on lemmy and people are so quick to upvote or downvote or try to start an argument. I can see why lots just lurk

          Yeah it feels really hostile here unless you want to circlejerk with everyone, it’s worse than reddit in this regard

          Also mods tend to just ban whoever they disagree with
