I'm sure it's not going to last forever as this site grows in popularity but I feel like I can talk about whatever with minimal judgement here (and just overall no anxiety in comparison to everywhere else), just nice vibes all around ^^

This community feels a lot more thoughtful than most, doesn't it? I have enjoyed reading everyones perspective immensely. I try to comment but honestly, I feel like most of the comments are so well thought-out that I don't have a lot to add. It's nice.

For me the absence of downvote has lowered the barrier to comment. On reddit I felt the same as you.

On another note, your account details say you are a bot? Account name with a "bot account" suffix.

Negative, I am a meat-popscicle!

I ticked the wrong box, I thought it was asking if I wanted to be able to see bot posts. I thought it meant like automods and stuff like that

Ah, fellow mobile biological co2 production facility. Carry on!

And now that you mention it, haven't seen any bots around yet on the fediverse (except for a few spam bots).

Eh, I think that comes with a larger user base. I'm sure it is inevitable. Speaking of inevitablity, R U lonely? 💔 Come talking me ❤️❤️ click shadylink in bio

It's really refreshing. Overall vibes are much more relaxed and open. People feel legitimately excited to help build something again, instead of just lurking and consuming content.

Definitely. I think the fact that there aren't many people here makes it feel a lot more worthwhile, to a degree. Maybe it's easier to recognize specific users? Or easier to feel like your perspective will actually be seen. Whatever it is, I welcome it.
