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 got a “who asked” amongst more productive banter this morning and I actually laughed and said “thank god, people can talk without a filter”.

    I’m okay with some stuff being toxic. Reddits moderation rules were so restricting that you couldn’t have a genuine conversation or sometimes just post something that was clearly originally intended to be posted to a sub; moderation was too tight.

    Freedom of speech shouldn’t be inconvenienced by a fedora wearing subreddit mod. And if one Lemmy instance does, there’s others you can enjoy!

      This is why I started to hate reddit, even before the big API fiasco. It’s clear all that was making it to the front page was the same liberal-pandering bullshit… I don’t mind seeing a little shad thrown at one side or the other every now and then, but when it’s every 5 posts and it’s always just 1 sides opinion it’s incredibly annoying! I was already looking for other sources of entertainment. I’m kinda glad I found Lemmy. It’s been a really cool experience so far.
