When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

    I want to comment more but I often don’t have much to say. I’ve made it a goal to comment more though, because I want to see this platform succeed.

    I love the enthusiasm in this thread but if we the mass migration of reddit users that I am hoping for, the toxicity and annoying reddit behaviors are probably coming along with them. I am hopeful that this place will at least stay much more open and free.

      Toxicity is good it encourages people to argue which is more content for Lemmy. I’ve only recently joined but I want to make an active attempt to be toxic and spark engagement.

        Stupidest shit I’ve ever heard. The goal should be to create a more positive environment that encourages real discussion instead of the toxic dumpster fire that reddit has become. Just engage positively instead. If you have something interesting to say people will respond and that will provide content for Lemmy.

        In my best Dan Akyroid voice, “B5k, you dirty s***”.

        Seriously, while I enjoy engagement, too, R taught me to deal with toxicity in other ways than going swimming in it. Swimming in the sewage with trolls just leaves me feeling dirtier, not engaged.

        I also just saw where to block a user on lemmy! It will be useful later, I am sure.
