Thanks! I think I could faham a bit. At least I got the rough picture already
Btw, about Twitter…
All this while, I have only used Reddit je since the past few years. I tried taking a look at Twitter before and well…the Twitterjaya felt so ‘ganas’. I don’t mean the literal violence haha but idk something about their replies and threads screams aggressiveness. And they seemed easy to get angry by things?
Hahaha I’ll just stay in this Lemmy/Reddit pool, apparently.
It’s the soapbox syndrome kot. My mutuals and i here were talking it over, what made redditors more willing to stick but not Twitterjaya and we figured, having islands like these instances or communities isn’t so different as subs. But also because the social incentives are different. Over there you pose and flex on your soapbox regularly enough you get followers. Over on the more forum setups, you just naikkan the forum’s energy, and ppl flock to the forum not the user necessarily. 24/7 rap battle over there, otoh.
