I love how thoughtful everything feels on lemmy (self.lemmyworld)

people posting here are going out of their way to post -- and it feels like every thought has more weight or sanctity or meaning when it's being posted here, at the dawn of a new era and the fall of an old.

i'm spending more time actually reading and engaging with every comment, parsing the details and thinking about it, conceptually. versus just looking at garbage all day, garbage with a little bit of fentanyl in to keep you hooked

Actually being able to see my content on the page instead of being drowned in a sea of reposts, it feels better and makes me more motives to post instead of just lurking.

That was also why reddit became flooded with low effort pun chains. Why spend time writing a thoughtful reply for it to be buried, when u can make 5 puns and have 1 of them go to the top?

Or song chains, or really just a quick insult. I'd always see high karma, one-liners. It severely discouraged conversation

This gets me thinking that this might be what reddit looked like back in the very beginning - lots of actual users interacting, making contents, etc.
