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.

    For the most part, yes. But I have noted lately that I do get some snarky people coming in with dishonest and bad faith responses. They’re at least not as rampant as it would’ve been on Reddit. It’s discouraging and demoralizing when you’ve got, what feels like, 100 people downvoting you to hell and 50 of them are swiping at you before deleting their accounts and doing it again because they’re of the tribal mindset and you’ve somehow offended a part of the hive.

      I get a lot of that from the .ml instance users

        I like sounds of the content from .ml but I safe quite a few of the users share a really toxic mindset.

        It’s irksome because they are supposed to be leftists and promoting how good communism or socialism can be which seems really at odds with how they speak and act.

          They feel Morley Justified to be rude.

          It’s either your with them or against

            Yeah, reminds me of a post they did where the question is what issue do you have with leftism. I explained and got downvoted for it. I was even polite

      Yeah in the last week or so I’ve noticed an uptic in snark / downright rude responses compared to when I joined ~2 months ago

      I hope the trend does not continue

      I think I have noticed more crappy behavior as well over the past week or so that I’ve been more active, but I have tended to notice that not as many people feed the trolls as they would on reddit. Downvotes and people move on instead of engaging, it’s nice.
