MODERATORS
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. *
Yet.
Yes. People aren't just saying stupid jokes.
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.
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.
The average IQ of a lemmy user is probably well over 100, given the tech enthusiasm the platform attracts in its early days
Don't worry guys, I'll be here dragging down the class average as usual!
