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.

So what I’m hearing is that we need some kind of “code phrase” to identify ourselves as fediverse users in the real word.
How about “The (noun)_ beans at (time)_” as a starting point?
What time does the narwhal bacon tho?
Perhaps for lemmy, the Orca Toasts at Noon.
But yeah, lemmy actually feels like a community. I haven’t seen too much of a “thread consensus” effect, where any differing views get buried with downvotes for not agreeing. The only mass downvoted comments I’ve seen so far were blatant racism/sexism/homophobia/other noncivil comments, and LITERAL shitposts.
TLDR: Lemmy circlejerks way less, but allows uncensored gifs of people pooping in comments
I would not overly praise old reddit like this. I agree that people were more open minded and willing to engage in substantive discussions, but old reddit was also hosting the likes of /r/jailbait, /r/coontown, /r/n*ggers. There’s good and bad aspects.
Didn’t lemmy.ml have stuff like that too?
I think the whole thing is that your instance can defederate so even if there were things like that existing you wouldn’t see it. There are plenty of instances that’s not federated with lemmy.ml i believe.
