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.
Having skimmed over their posts, while I also don’t tend to agree with their views, nor the spreading of misinformation, that doesn’t justify anyone telling them to off themselves. Hopefully they reported that person, as that shouldn’t be tolerated in any instance/community imo.
Agreed. Big difference you pointed out here.
