I happen to like it very much.

    This might sound weird but there are a lot more assholes here than reddit.

    On Reddit you can expect some percentage of the people to be assholes because some percentage of the population are assholes… but here, heaven forbid you go against the grain of the narrative.

    As opposed to reddit, where most of the people are nice and some are assholes, here only some are nice and the majority are assholes.

      People are a little too enthusiastic about their opinions here. It’s kind of not great. I’m just here to enjoy myself and pass the time.

      • I envision a reddit clone with a “Live and let live” ethos where the only voting options you have are “Meh” and “That’s just like your opinion man.”

      You’re absolutely right! And people keep saying that they’re nicer here which is not the case at all!

        Counterpoint. It depends massively on what communities you use. So there’s a not so small possibility that both you and the people you disagree with are right.

          I would normally agree with you, but I usually see this in communities like ask Lemmy. And it’s not usually about disagreements. Most of it is people just being complete assholes because they misunderstood something. Now, I know assholes are every where, and that’s not the problem. It just annoys me when I see comments like “everyone is more friendly here”.

          That’s true. Some of the communities are great… but there were way way more, way larger, way more active communities on Reddit that were great in the same way too.

    • My experience is the opposite. Both platforms are full of assholes tbh, but reddit is like nothing but, here you can occasionally have actual discourse, though I assume that will change before long.

      I think it’s a numbers thing. The larger the user base, the more the average skews towards being mellow/nicer.
