The quality of comments on Lemmy, I've noticed, are far better than Reddit comments on average.
When you remove all the fluff, there's about the same if not more useful stuff in comment threads here, however on Lemmy there's way less fluff (again just what I've noticed).
I've noticed there are more absolutely batshit crazy takes.
Like what? Can you link?
See the reason I ask is because one way to ensure there are batshit crazy takes is to claim that there are. It puts everyone on guard, making everyone less rational.
Basically, this kind of talk is bad for morale, at the level of a community. This kind of talk, if it’s not reporting something specific and real, degrades the health of a community, the ability of that community to communicate internally.
If there’s real batshit crazy stuff, it can be linked to. Consider it a sort of authenticity challenge, so we’re not all going into fight or flight mode based on zombie sighting reports, when there actually aren’t any zombies.
i always thought the constant "reddit is problematic" posting ruined the quality of subs and should've been limited to dedicated meta threads.
I prefer that to the amount of wildly bigoted comments I would see on Reddit.
