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 find that Lemmy users are more likely to engage in earnest and once it started getting a flood of new users from Reddit it didn’t change. This combined with the fact that it suddenly had more content I was interested in convinced me to stop being a lurker and try to add something to the whole.
