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.

I think part of it is that it seems like Lemmy has older users on average than Reddit. For teenagers and young twenty years olds raised on the internet, they seem to not really know how to talk to people in a productive way, so it’s often just toxic, nasty or empty. Obviously this isn’t all people, but internet culture kids tend to all sound and act the same.
As someone younger, I completely agree with you.
Yeah some of the Reddit comment sections I’ve seen over the years have been full of people trying to instigate something.
Most of those are trolls, not the youth.
There’s significant overlap there.
I’m probably jaded because I hang out in lemmy.world politics but it really seems more like trolls. I have a hard time thinking that the gen z hang in there
Could be. I don’t really know for sure. Just speculating.
Its sad to see what the shape of the room can do to ones psyche, really the AI has taken over because it was handed what the walls look like on a silver platter and told to get to work.
