i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

    It is hit or miss. I just got into a fight with a MAGA troll claiming that wikipedia vote totals are completely made up. I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with stupidity like that on lemmy.

      The Internet is the Internet. As the Fediverse grows, it’ll encounter all the same problems that the other social media platforms do, except one: People won’t be locked into a single website controlled by a monolithic corporation. That’s a big enough improvement in my books.

      I had a pretty curated feed on reddit where I basically got rid of most subs that allowed toxicity. So I’ve actually noticed more toxicity since the switch. But I’ve also noticed that posts have more of a personal vibe hear that I’m all for.
