I thought I used Reddit a lot, but I've been rummaging around here waaaaay more than I ever did there.
It's been driving me nuts for days, but I literally JUST figured it out...
It reminds me of freshman year in college. Everyone is turbo-social and extra considerate. Maybe that's partly from not knowing who is who, or maybe even not remembering if you've met the person you're talking to because you met so many new people. Everything was fresh and new, and there was that feeling of starting a new journey. Lots of confusion and chaos, but everyone was understanding ("Oh, you're a freshman. Let me show you...").
That's a good way of putting it. It's really refreshing for people to act polite and give benefit of the doubt. I know that the honeymoon period won't last forever. But when the dust settles I hope it stays a happier place than Reddit.
