    People are more likely to comment when they disagree, since agreement just ends up sounding like “me too!”

    But I find people on the fediverse are a lot nicer

      I end up not commenting because I try to proofread and while doing it I notice I don’t care enough about whatever or my comment doesn’t really matter and just cancel de comment.

        I do that a lot when Im about to make a dumb joke reply. Halfway through correcting all the mistakes I thankfully realized it’s just not worth it.

        Kinda feel bad for people when a joke I’ve made makes it to being posted.

      Definitely.

      On reddit I have observed my faith in the intentions of the person on the receiving end waning over the last years bc of that.

      I have been surprised at the good faith people reacted to my comments with, I haven’t yet gotten to the reddit poison fully out of my system.

      we’re in a golden age before corporations, bots, and racist dumbasses come, we’re not popular enough to attract people so the only ones here are foss enthusiasts and i know this is elitist but theres definitely a correlation between that and not being a weirdo jackass. once this gets more popular get ready for the shit hurdling and over moderation again. sorry to burst your bubble. i love this community
