    I used Reddit because I was bored and watching tv. I barely interacted. I am interacting on Lemmy. There was a lot of angry, toxic people on Reddit. So I am glad they are staying there

      You just made me realize I’ve been sitting here for two hours in a now-dark room and I haven’t turned the TV on yet. Fediverse truly is like the old reddit.

      Man, this is true. So far my experience has been less stressful and more wholesome on the fediverse. It feels more like Reddit from 8 years ago than modern, angry Reddit.

          and you can potentially replicate that honeymoon period on a wide variety of instances and local communities, each with their own vibe.

            And here your one voice can have an impact on a mag or community. Your contributions can grow a community, and change how it feels.

            On Reddit, even a small community is 10,000+ members, your voice is drowned out by thousands of others, your contribution is barely registered.

      My fediverse experience got much calmer after joining an instance that blocks some problematic instances as well. I recommend beehaw.org to everyone.
