Anyone else feels that they're more active on Lemmy than they were on Reddit? (self.microthoughts)

Maybe because we all want this to work out and be a thing.

Absolutely.

Actually, I'm probably writing about the same number of replies. It's just that here I'm much more likely to actually post them.

On Reddit, I tended to write out replies, then visualize what was going to happen if I posted it - if I got any response at all, it was likely to just be a troll or a shill or a bot regurgitating some bit of emotive rhetoric or a tired meme. Then I'd just delete it instead of posting it.

Here, the only likely negative outcome is nothing at all. If somebody does respond, it's actually likely that it'll not only be a real person, but that they'll actually post real thoughts rather than just rhetoric and memes.

I had forgotten what that feels like.
