I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.
i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.
Really? To me, it's unfair to characterize mildlyinfuriating as an agitation community that spreads negativity. I enjoy browsing there because it's a place to bond over shared frustration and humor.
Public freakout was more agitation but even then it was like people can be so stupid or it was genuine content about people being treated unfairly that was creating some awareness.
For me the genuine agitation things were the ragebait stuff like 5 minutes hacks/crafts and posting blatantly wrong or reprehensible takes to generate negative engagement like a lot of content on AITA.
Where I see most of the "toxic redditisms" is in political communities. So far I've been blocking them as they pop up on my feed, and it makes the experience much more enjoyable/cordial.
