When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

As the antagonist of this thread, I would have to disagree with this statement. I was, initially, very dismayed to see that no one had taken issue with this comment. Alas, here I am, to set things right. Being that most online communities seem to revolve around my person, I thought that I’d share these thoughts that so many of you had been patiently awaiting.

This killed me 🤣

Another big difference is the lack of vote fuzzing. It's more obvious when people are abusing the upvote/downvote function, and it feels more meaningful when you know each vote directly represents a real person.

On kbin you can even see publicly which user made each vote, but idk if that functionality is planned or possible on Lemmy. It's quite useful for combating brigading.
