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.

I don't really feel like they meant shit on reddit either. As far as I know high karma doesn't give you any additional benefits but perhaps bragging rights if it's something one is proud of.

I felt like it made some people feel like elites or something. Some folks took them so seriously that they don't even reply to anyone. I also felt like karma limited some people's freedom to express what they felt because they're afraid of being "downvoted to oblivion".
