It feels like people are a lot nicer here than on Twitter and Reddit, and even when people disagree, it’s generally civil and not an all-out flame war. Also, there’s no algorithm promoting outrage all the time.

For me, the anticipation of toxicity was a huge deterrent for me ever participating in real discussions, but here I feel like I can be myself.

I think it’s healthier this way.

    I agree, for the most part. But I already have noted a couple instances of the kind of behavior I expected to see on Reddit.

    There’s always, always going to be an insufferable group of people who spends their aimless lives just shitting all over everything.
