    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.

      It’s kinda like when you filter reviews and everything is either 5 stars or 1 stars. Most people will only comment if they feel strongly about something and unfortunately we live in an outrage culture, so the majority of interactions will be negative. Very rarely will someone put the effort to reply to something they feel ambivalent towards

        I’ve noticed that. Everything’s become so black-and-white and lacking in nuance that people feel like they absolutely must fit into one box or the other. ugh

      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

        What the fuck did you just say about Sync for Lemmy, you little casual? I’ll have you know it’s not FOSS, and it has options for paying for a subscription!

        I’ve been trained in open-source warfare and have over 300 confirmed commits on GitHub. You think your proprietary software can stand a chance against the might of the FOSS community? Think again, scrub.

        While you were wasting time on paid subscriptions, we studied the art of collaboration and freedom. We know every line of code in the Linux kernel and can fork repositories with pinpoint accuracy. Your closed-source tactics won’t work here.

        You call it a “premium feature”? Ha! We see through your money-grubbing schemes. In the realm of open-source, the true premium is transparency and accessibility for all.

        So, take your subscription nonsense and run back to your proprietary lair. The FOSS community will continue to thrive and grow, empowering users worldwide with the power of choice and knowledge.

      Yeah, and don’t get me wrong, the majority of users I have engaged with here have been lovely. But occasionally you’ll get the post with hundreds of upvotes, with maybe one downvote, but the comment section makes it feel like they’re trying to set the place on fire.

      It probably has more to do with the fact that there are far less of us than redditors, and comments are weighted differently from reddit.

    I like to try to remember I don’t need to have an opinion about everything I stumble across.

    Ope, there I go opining again.

    Bet this mouth-breathing shill didn’t even post the meme from a FOSS app. Despicable.

      I’ve been using ‘lemmy users’ but to save time i just use ‘lusers’. Gets confusing with linux users but you already know if they use linux. I use arch btw.

    Hey guys, would you like to hear about how the only good political system is the one where you seize power and suppress all dissent with ruthless violence? If you disagree with any of this you are obviously a CIA shill.

    Oh my fuck, you didn’t just go out and assume I’m a snap case in the replies because you know fucking what… maybe? I dunno. Just got here.

    Seems chill though.
