I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (lemmy.world)

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

On one hand downvotes are an expression of negativity, but on the other hand downvotes are an outlet for negativity.

Meanwhile, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why a bunch of the top comments here got like one downvote each, lol.

Haha you know I’ve seen that too and I can’t recall if this was the case on Reddit in the early days before they started fucking around with scoring.
