It feels like people are a lot nicer here than on Twitter and Reddit, and even when people disagree, it’s generally civil and not an all-out flame war. Also, there’s no algorithm promoting outrage all the time.
For me, the anticipation of toxicity was a huge deterrent for me ever participating in real discussions, but here I feel like I can be myself.
I think it’s healthier this way.
This is probably a good idea. I did the same on Reddit. Some people just want to be toxic. I’m just disappointed to realise it wasn’t Reddit causing the toxicity. It’s the users, and they’re here too.
