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.

    Just don’t say anything bad about the Fediverse (or anything good about Meta/Threads). That’s when the toxicity with appear. That’s what I’ve noticed, at least.
