    Part of the reason I find Lemmy enjoyable is I don’t have to worry about bullshit just to throw a comment in. I rarely post, but I have fun commenting stupid crap here and there to pass the time. Not once has anyone been a total dick, maybe a partial chub, but nothing I don’t already expect

      Yeah, the dread of seeing a new notification in the inbox turns out to be something pretty chill surprisingly often

      That’s really been one of the reasons I’ve always just been a lurker on social media. The fediverse spaces I’m in (lemmy/mastodon) have been great so far. I didn’t really have any expectations but the experience has been good for me and I hope for everyone else!

        This really gets to the heart of it, speaking recreationally is perfectly acceptable and it seems hate just for having an opinion is much lower

      It’s small enough that I can say something mildly controversial without getting dogpiled by a mob from /r/SomeEchoChamber

        I wouldn’t know about controversial haha, I mostly comment for fun, but there does seem to be an acceptance of the fact we are all sharing the same house, might as well make nice
