I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (lemmy.world)

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.

Re judgement: I wasn’t the one saying atheists are ignorant, materialistic, capitalistic people whose reality revolves around money.

And yeah, I take offense to someone calling me those things when they don’t know me from Adam. Matthew 7 - judge not buddy.

I try to live a life that prioritizes kindness, love, service, and charity to my fellow humans. I’m totally fine if you want to call BS on that. Feel free to say I’m a selfish money grubbing dolt, but I ask that you at least get to know me first before you start casting aspersions.

You're the one that attached judgments to the words ignorant, materialistic, and capitalistic.

Ignorance means spiritual ignorance. There's no fault or judgement. It's the default state of man.

Materialistic mean the belief that all phenomena in the universe can be explained by material and mechanical means.

Capitalistic means that capital or earthly power is important and useful to wield.

You evidently only know the common uses of these words, and have attached negative personal values to all of them.
