I hope so too. I stopped commenting on reddit a while back because it was just such an unenjoyable, unrewarding experience. Felt like users just got their dopamine by being contrarian about anything and everything.

Those users will come here. Best thing we can do is not engage. Just downvote, block, and delete those people from your memory. They aren't worth your energy. Embrace the amiable community instead.

You can just block communities you find uncomfortable. Or just don't like. Curate the content you see for a personalized enjoyable experience. :)

I really like the sense of optimism and camaraderie here. I hope it lasts! I hated posting and commenting on Reddit because people there are downright vitriolic.

Yeah, I agree I like the vibe here. And now I'm a decade older than I was when I started reddit so it feels like I'm coming here with a different attitude. On reddit I mostly lurked -- by the time I'd get to a thread there would be so many comments I didn't really have anything to add anyway.

Wait till it gets more popular
