Fear of communication gone after switching to lemmy (lemmy.world)

Hey, I hope it's ok to post something like this here. I just wanted to say thanks for the people here^^ A long time ago I joined Reddit and tried to post, comment and communicate about stuff I liked. Only now I noticed how much I became a lurker over the time because of the negativity at Reddit. Snappy comments, no real feedback but hate, sometimes even borderline insults... After nuking and deleting my Reddit account and switching to lemmy I noticed how much I missed it. People here are way more friendly and communicate politely. At least for now... Posting is fun again, all thanks to you all^^ That's my two cents. Thanks for reading. Love you all, keep safe. Cheers

Glad to have you with us! This place feels more like a real community. I've commented more on kbin this past week than on reddit the past two years combined.

This is true for me as well. I became very considered with all my posts, and scared to post a quick off-hand remark on reddit. Often I would get half-way through a comment, and just delete it because I had become paranoid about how it would be received - even the most mundane thoughts and opinions. It was just too mentally exhausting to deal with. And also, I 'd just like to say: the "fancy pants" editor is shit.
