I kind of feel like Reddit is the biggest bar in the world and having a conversation there feels like it. If you aren’t loud and early, you can’t really participate in a meaningful way. The smaller crowd of Lemmy is a sweet spot for me. Enough people that it’s not dead, but small enough that I can still participate in conversations.

Agreed, and it's kinda neat to start recognizing people's names across different communities. Really feels like old-school internet forums in that way.

Yeah, the Picard maneuver once replied to me and I honestly felt a little star struck.

I once got into a brief disagreement with Flying Squid and to their credit they didn't stoop to any kind of personal attacks, didn't behave or speak unreasonably, didn't flex or mention their mod status, and didn't penalize me for disagreeing with them with their mod powers in any way. And yes of course all of these very reasonable normal behaviors should be a given, but just fucking try disagreeing with a power mod on Reddit and see what happens.

Lemmy; even our powermods are better.
