Hi. So when I’m watching a tv show or movie, and it hits me in the feels, I will think something like “Oh, this movie is wholesome, or this tv show is wholesome” Even if it has swearing in it, as long as the message is a good one. I’ve been on Lemmy now a couple days, and I rate lemmy super-duper wholesome. Maybe it was the question/thread I asked, but the responses I got were very nice. Lots of people love to cuddle dogs as self-care and by golly, that’s just as wholesome as it gets.
I’ve encountered way fewer rude people on here than on Reddit.
Same. To the point where I can barely stand Reddit right now. There’s a couple good subs, but the front page, or every really big sub, is so charged and toxic nowadays. I can barely make it through the comments anymore.
My favorite is getting down voted for very mundane statements. Happens to me a lot on the cars and Halo subreddits.
Definitely not as many rude people on here.

This message is about as wholesome as it gets.
Who doesn’t love cuddling a dog? I bet even cat people wouldn’t say no.
I prefer dogs, but have cats, and I like cuddling our cats (when they let me). I’m pretty sure it goes the other way too.
That’s good to hear, I agree that Lemmy is wholesome. Ngl I braced myself for the worst when I read the post title though 😅
Same here ha ha
Thank you for your message!
You’re wholesome OP 🤗
I’ll allow it
Just out of curiosity, why do you all think Lemmy is more positive?
I wonder if the slightly more difficult step of federating with an instance is keeping some of the more negative people away.
My guess is that Lemmy trends towards an older audience (average age is probably 30s), and also a lot of Lemmy come from similar walks of life (many are very technical or work in IT and similar).
You don’t find many people arguing over political differences, either. Generally people agree rather than having divisive opinions.
Also definitely playing into it is that many social media platforms are deliberately divisive as it drives usage higher.

I don’t either because I blocked most of the politics and news communities, but I’m still pretty sure those discussions are happening
Those discussions are heavily one sided.

You seem nice. Wish I could give you a hug!
