Yep, this is the difference, on Reddit, you would get a response from bots and trolls all the time. Sure there were some subreddits where heavy moderation fixed it, but in over a decade at Reddit, I only found 3 communities like that.

The upshot of that was I stopped posting on Reddit, but here it feels different and more welcoming. I know it won't always be like this, but just now it feels like something new, untainted, and more importantly, wants to improve the experience for its users..unlike that bellend spez.
