When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

I'm not only commenting more (because I'm not afraid people will bite my head off for everything I say) I'm also reading a lot more comments in general. I think it's for the same reason, the comment threads seem to involve actual constructive discourse. It's funny that I read fewer posts here than I did at Reddit but I spend a lot more time per post.

How dare you! This is an atrocious thing to say and you should feel bad /s

Oh, don't worry. There's still plenty of people who will bite your head off or call you a "concern troll" for genuine opinions that go against the hive mind. Things are just slower.

Yeah, this place sort of just has a better spirit right now. I hope it's able to hold onto this vibe as it grows.

You hit the nail on the head for me. I comment a lot more, I read more comments and all discussions seems to be way more constructive and people seem actually read eachothers points. I really hope this kind of interactions are here to stay, even when the ferdiverse grows.
