I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (lemmy.world)

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.

New guy here. Reddit exodus. Got perma-banned today. Funny how after 11-years, I'm suddenly hateful and "promoting violence." 3 reports in 2-months. Huh.

This is gonna sound paranoid, but I think I pissed someone off and they followed me around reporting me.

Anywho, posts seem more mellow here, more thoughtful, fewer childlike reactions.

Ouch… sorry to hear that. Reddit has definitely gotten Facebook level of scummy. I tried deleted my account 2x, only for those assholes to restore it. Now if only perma bans could make an account and all it’s content to disappear from the site, haha. I was at 9yrs in terms of account age.
