Non-toxic comments and memes that have aged like fine wine. I’m here indefinitely.
Bigger instances and communities may end up being more PC over the years but I think smaller ones will retain this vibe.
You are right! I read and parsed it backwards and thought the comment was dire 🤣. Thought the OP was asking for plausible sounding falsehoods and the commenter said “you are loved and deserve happiness”. I retract my statement. I think Fediverse will stay nice. People on more main stream anonymous social sites are even mostly nice like this don’t you think?
Ah gotcha! I think the nature of anonymous social media brings out the best and worst in people. Some people will go out of their way to help people for nothing in return, not even clout. Others use the veil to hurt others without accountability. Then again, we see these things on social media where people’s names are attached, so idk. I think the slightly convoluted nature of the fediverse will filter out a lot of people for now, but what kinds of people I’m not sure.
I do think positivity and kindness are the majority, and assholes are the very loud minority. I also think that having good mods and modding tools behind the scenes can affect the atmosphere a bunch as well. Lemmy feels great right now because it’s small, but how will it scale? That remains to be seen 🤷♀️
If this is something you want in the community, you gotta try to be that part of the community too in whatever way feels natural to you, such as making a post like this. <3
At first I thought this was a sarcastic statement until i read the community name
Beehaw is exactly like this, great place if you are into that stuff
