Seemed like emojis in posts / comments would get downvoted to oblivion on Reddit. I don’t see the same thing on Kbin (or other instances / services).

    Judging by the comments it looks like all the extreme emoji haters are the toxic people who refuse to leave Reddit. I love that for the most part the people that left Reddit and are active in Kbin/Lemmy aren’t the super toxic ones that frequented Reddit, it’s really a breath of fresh air

      Same! I lurked a lot on Reddit because even trivial comments felt like they’d get picked at (or more often just not result in additional conversation). Here I feel much more comfortable typing and not second guessing. Feels good.

        Yeah I lurked for a long time on Reddit since one of my first posts on there got downvoted into oblivion by said toxic users, so I was afraid to post or comment for a long time. Here is definitely a lot more comfortable

        Me too! I was on reddit for over a decade but mostly just lurked. Here I feel way more inclined to comment, maybe because it’s smaller?
