I’ve had a great time here. The people on the various communities I’ve joined are very nice and actually constructive! I haven’t encountered any rude or sarcastic responses or one word answers.
I’ve had really cool conversations and I haven’t been told anything toxic or given any anatomically impossible suggestions at all! I really see a difference between here and Reddit.
What particularly amazed me is the lack of knock down dragouts on the Politics and News communities on Lemmy.
People bring up their points of view even if they have contrasting arguments siting historical precedents to support their side of the discussion.
I’m excited to see your experience as well?
I’m really glad to be a part of Lemm.ee and thank you very much /u/sunaurus for making this instance! :D
So one thing this experience has made me realize is that reddit didn’t always keep me up on what I could consider interesting news.
I have an RSS feed setup of about 55 feeds. I would keep scrolling on reddit because I’d want to keep trying to find those interesting articles in a haystack but I think I may have reached overstauration on subreddits that I’d have to scroll through a lot of junk.
With rss feeds set to update once a day, once I reach the end of my feeds I now feel more comfortable saying I’m done wasting time for the day trying to keep up with the feeds.
It does mean though that I have to find other ways to waste those 5 to 15 mins of down time waiting on an elevator or waiting on a coffee if I’ve read through the news of the day. I’ve returned to wordle and now the mini crossword from NYTimes.
If nothing else, this has made me realize I don’t need to keep endlessly scrolling to pass the time.
