I’ve been really enjoying my time here lately and I have noticed things.

  1. discussions are more chill. On Reddit people would get into flame wars over things and here while it happens it’s not as bad, and I actually enjoy spending time here.

  2. people are nicer.

  3. moderation is amazing.

  4. diversity in thoughts is also amazing.

    I only subbed to interests/hobbies and low-volume cute stuff, so I didn’t really get the full effect. I’ve seen it used to make a disliked-by-some valid point disappear, but maybe 1-4 times a year? It certainly wasn’t high on my list of Reddit vexes.

      Yeah, it’s not something I really saw in small communities, but once things get to what I’d think of as medium sized it started to be a problem.
