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.

      I agree with this. I honestly have no idea what people are convinced things are that much better lol. Feels no different than any post on Reddit.

      Almost like its the same people in both.

      And if anything, I already see click bait being perpetuated everywhere with massive upvotes. Misinformation is already starting. The one Threads post about Shadow accounts, clickbait title that Meta is creating shadow accounts for people. Hundreds of upvotes. No, it’s called your instagram account, and its no secret.
