Oh you are right. I miss Reddit's dysfunctional ways. I think I'll miss the toxicity but fuck spez.

Same. Half the time I would start writing a reply on Reddit only to abandon it out of feeling intimidated by the potential replies it might generate.
some people out there are just itching to start some stupid argument where they'll sooner die than admit that your side has some merit
π― agree. This has been my experience going from Twitter to Mastodon which Iβve used since late last year. Thereβs not as much drama, but *turns out that was the problem all along. *
I comment on a new tech, after days past i start to read more.
Excellent, I am not the only person refraining from what I really want to say in comments and replies, haha.
Minor jest aside, it's because this is all "New*" And people aren't looking to take the mask off yet/are afraid of getting banned via some other persons sensitivity.
Yes. People aren't just saying stupid jokes.
Yet.
Honestly that's so true. Having people respectfully disagree with you is something sorely lacking on many open platforms
Disagree. I've already seen extremely heated discussions.
I agree, for the most part. But I already have noted a couple instances of the kind of behavior I expected to see on Reddit.
There's always, always going to be an insufferable group of people who spends their aimless lives just shitting all over everything.
