I have posted correct information like that on Reddit and have been downvoted for providing sourced information. That really discourages my participation. Why try?

I have to brag on Lemmy.world.

This place is friendlier, and a much better place to interact with others. Oh, there's still a down-vote brigade, but it's much smaller.

Reddit may still have a huge user base, but it's becoming facebook-esque; that is, people go to it because they know it, and nothing else. This place is so much better.

This place is so much better. Quality content has been coming up recently and the interaction with the user base has been positive.

Heck I started a package manager "fight" in a Linux thread the other day and it all remained positive. I'm glad I made the swap over to lemmy.

For real, the vibe here is way closer to what Reddit was a decade ago
