I have found the commenters on Lemmy to be far more thoughtful and reasonable even when they are tearing me apart as a human being. Most commenter seem to be really nice and enthusiastic though.

Maybe it's just a volume thing and we haven't attracted enough of the shit heads yet to overwhelm every thread with nonsense.

I think those are some pretty fair assumptions. I haven’t been involved in any discussions until now really but people have been kind to me so far. I can be a bit of a goof so nice to know I won’t immediately be attacked for it.

We’ll see what the future of Lemmy will be, but for now things are nice!

Yes. Once a certain volume and popularity has been reached Eternal September happens and mainstream users flood in carrying alot of opinions, followed by companies who want to advertise to those new users.

How that works in a federated system is going to be interesting. There is no central site or node. Maybe there will be a separate commercial federation network.
