    Really has felt like the thrediverse has been quite active lately. During the exodus we had a lot of posting about… the exodus. But now we have a lot of posting about actual topics and what feels like a pretty healthy community building save for a few instances that will probably get defederated before too long.

      Same I find the engagement is raising. The threads here are more sincere. Sure it’s not as active when it comes to some things but that’s fine IMHO. Building an online community right takes time.

        I also feel that people here are much nicer, and willing to engage with content. Even tiny communities usually make pretty great posts.

          I greatly appreciate the lack of reddit meta getting repeated adnauseum. 69 and 420 references really stop being funny when repeated in so many threads.

          People say this everywhere, but I’m not seeing it. Say something that disagrees with whatever the main opinion is and you’ll be downvoted and called an idiot.

            That’s just how forums work. It’s a collection of people who want to discuss topic A. If you say “I don’t like topic A” it seems out of place.

            I’ve actually had very pleasant disagreements with folks. Even some admitting they were incorrect on something and not being given grief over it.

            I definitely feel like there’s a more open discussion environment here.

            We all have different experiences though I suppose.

            I’m fine with being downvoted and being called an idiot. I’m not fine with being reported and then being banned, which is what that other site turned into.

          Yes, absolutely.

          And you know what?

          I love it, just the feeling of actually engaging of people. Something I didn’t have on Reddit. I think it really opens my eyes on how much our attention gets commercialised.

      I’m so happy there’s no more posts about people trying to fix federation

        I mean it’s fine, improving federation is always welcome, it’s just dull when you go to the fediverse and all they talk about is… the fediverse

          Oh sorry, I wasn’t clear enough. I’m taking about the posts that have an authoritarian slant to them.

          “There should only be one (memes or whatever) community across the fediverse. Someone… should deal with all these copies.”

          Fedi doesn’t map exactly into their single server reddit experience. They want to re-create king spaz for some reason. It was kinda gross and I felt a few randos really showed their ass.

      What is “thredrsiverse”?
