And not so long ago, you did get heard, but there was also a 50/50 chance of being called a capitalist pig and a baby killer regardless of what you contributed.
It seems that everyone has found their own corners on Lemmy now, so that is nice.
It’s because it’s not as homogeous a platform since the flood from Reddit. The problem with any small platform isn’t strictly because they’re small, mind you, but a side effect of getting bigger is usually more people and that means more a diverse range of opinions. So the assholes are more drowned out.
It’s not a hard and fast rule but that’s usually what I’ve noticed.
thats because we dont have those threads were anyone would elaborate on the upper comment with a stupid reply, and that reply gets replied to with another slightly different but also stupid reply…here we get actual comments and replies…wanna learn alphabet ? go to kindegarten … it helps to have a mature and respectful userbase, which also wouldn’t require much effort to moderate. sometimes it costs nothing to be nice … in the long run we needed access to a social platform afterall, might as well stand by our values and preserve it
I appreciate that every post doesn’ have 3000 comments. I can actually contribute to a discussion and get heard.
