It feels better to me because I can post this, walk away, come back, and not find myself downvoted into obscurity - just for joining a conversation. This could change, but I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.
That’s the love I’m talking about. I went on reddit after being here, and my comments were autobanned, shadow blocked, or downvoted even though I put thought into them. On reddit I dread karma points because so many subreddits used it as a means to measure my value. Here - I wrote comments across the fediverse, closed my eyes and waited to get beat with sticks - and when that didn’t happen, I realized - the emotional trauma of reddit is real. I don’t even talk much on reddit because I’m afraid of speaking - but here it feels different. I just can’t go back to that.
Yep same, that is why I left , I’ve been looking for something to scratch the old Reddit itch, as fed up of “waiting to see why I am wrong” this to me is not about API (although the worry of poor moderation I support) it is mainly been looking to leave and this is the excuse.
