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.
Technically a verbal compliment is faker than an upvote (a visual sign of approval) because at least the visual approval hasn't fizzled out of existence after being used. So since a compliment and an upvote are sort of similar, shouldn't we treat an upvote somewhat similarly to how we treat compliments?
