I can honestly say that I don't give a fuck about anything Reddit related. I'm very happy with my Lemmy experience thus far. This place seems fresh.

Only wish there were more comments

I think there's a lot of people who got turned off from commenting.

It was so easy to gain the attention of some deranged Redditor when you commented, it was often just not worth it. Maybe that mindset came here and people are still warming up to the idea.

Funny comments and local jokes was my favourite thing about reddit

Comments on articles and memes is okay, but comments and discussions on Reddit subs about specific topics and interests were very useful. Lemmy would definitely be better with more of that here.

I have been writing a lot of comments on lemmy and people are so quick to upvote or downvote or try to start an argument. I can see why lots just lurk

Oh, don't say. Wrote an opinion on atheist forum and got myself almost crucified, lol

Yeah it feels really hostile here unless you want to circlejerk with everyone, it's worse than reddit in this regard

Also mods tend to just ban whoever they disagree with
