I’ll admit, I’ve had far better experiences here than I have on Reddit; Lemmings aren’t as prone to argue on nonsensical topics as Redditors are.

That being said, there are still more than a few nasties here.

You have a lovely bum

There's a lot less of us, we can't lose anyone.

Lemmy succeeded in what SomethingAwful is doing for $10.

Well Karma ain’t a thing here so there’s not that much reason for bots to exist. Where on Reddit people make certain karma bots to sell. So here! Have a updoot. 👍

Im too new to tell if Lemmy is more left or right leaning or somewhere in the middle. But Reddit is extreme left wing, you can’t even make a (bad) joke without getting banned.

I have a conspiracy theory about Reddit and social media in general:

I think its algorithm not only puts up links but users and their comments in their view that are more likely to piss you off, and they measure this based on observing your post and comment history. I believe they categorize users by political affiliation and moral outlook by this method, and use that info to purposefully expose you to people who will cause you conflict to drive up engagement and therefore ad dollars.

I believe they also use chat bots to argue with people for that purpose.

Maybe on mainstream social media rude comments overhang the good ones, not by quantity, but due to the amount of dislikes, big techs strategies of evidence to keep the users engagement, probably dislike a comment is worst then just ignore it. Note I'm not saying that it happens on Lemmy. I think it should be interesting a mechanism that put at the end of the thread the most disliked comments.

Thank you!

You look fabulous today by the way, have an upvote!

Think again fuckface.
