I’ve received more positive interactions in the last month here on Lemmy and I ever did in my 12 years on Reddit. On Reddit I am generally too anxious to post shit or engage in any way which led me to live that lurk life. I’m sure more toxicity will come as the user base continues to grow but, for now, this place is pretty fuckin’ cool and I appreciate you all.
In retrospect, I’m really glad all of this shit with Reddit happened and lemmy became a thing in my life. Was bummed initially when Apollo died, but now despite needed polish in lemmy apps, the experience here is much much better and I would never go back.
