I get plenty of good convos here- perhaps even more on a density measurement (% of good vs total) than on Reddit. But the density of bad ones is higher too. Mainly anything involving politics people are much less open minded here than on Reddit. At least on Reddit usually the person will talk to you or say they respectfully disagree, here on the Fediverse I've several times had 'heres the talking points', I directly refute them, then something like 'you obviously don't understand and I can't be bothered to explain it to you'. And while I certainly accept that I might not understand, this happens in places where their argument is 'A caused B', and my response is 'you can look it up, B happened before A'.
Interesting how it's almost the exact opposite here for me.
I have run into some really bad eggs here, admittedly, mostly lately and with much newer accounts than mine, telling me they're probably late Reddit emigrants, which is a red flag for me. Some really deranged people are always gonna be on every platform.
But mostly it's been good vibes here. I hope you have a better experience so that you feel better about the ratio soon. ๐
Take care!
same to you sir/madam!
