Same here. I'd often type out a comment just to delete it with the assumption that I'll get downvoted or that it'll start a comment chain of arguing.
It's been nice to see other's perspectives on this.
So far the culture on Lemmy has been so much more positive. Maybe this is just a side effect of eager early adopters using the platform.
Definitely. All we have is us here and we play a very risky game. If people get hurt they will leave or lurk which is what we DON'T want. So yeah, hopefully there won't be much issue here for a while.
What I learned over the years on Reddit is do not engage the assholes. If they comment and it’s hateful or they’re being a jerk in a reply just don’t reply back and if they just won’t quit the block option is your friend.
Also to only sub to mostly positive communities. Places like idiotsincars end up with more argument/pedantic comment chains. Not worth it.
You control what you see.
I had almost a universally positive experience once I figured that out.
