I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

For the most part, yes. But I have noted lately that I do get some snarky people coming in with dishonest and bad faith responses. They're at least not as rampant as it would've been on Reddit. It's discouraging and demoralizing when you've got, what feels like, 100 people downvoting you to hell and 50 of them are swiping at you before deleting their accounts and doing it again because they're of the tribal mindset and you've somehow offended a part of the hive.
I get a lot of that from the .ml instance users
I like sounds of the content from .ml but I safe quite a few of the users share a really toxic mindset.
It's irksome because they are supposed to be leftists and promoting how good communism or socialism can be which seems really at odds with how they speak and act.
They feel Morley Justified to be rude.
It's either your with them or against
Yeah, reminds me of a post they did where the question is what issue do you have with leftism. I explained and got downvoted for it. I was even polite
