    Also, on Reddit when you post a comment that gets even a little bit popular and visible, you always get some asshole who misrepresents your point and wants to pick a virtual fight.

    I never know when to engage or ignore.

    In any case, it’s never satisfying. Ignore and you feel bad. Engage and you feel bad.

    Lemmy is nicer. Way less assholes.

      There’s certainly some of that here, although much less than Reddit and various other popular places on the internet. Something I’ve noticed about the disagreements here though, is that they don’t instantly devolve into abuse and name calling, and feels almost… Professional? In a way. It feels like the way people disagree here is less like how things genuinely are on the internet, and more like a disagreement in a workplace. Things stay civil and respectful, nobody’s abusing anyone else.

      I’ve also noticed that different opinions can actually coexist here, like you’ll have a post with dozens of comments and 1 of those comments states an opinion, and then somebody with just as many upvotes makes an entirely separate comment with the opposite opinion. You never see that on Reddit, where any comment with an opinion different to whatever the main ones on that thread are will be downvoted into oblivion. Hell, it’s rare to even see a 2 posts in the same subreddit with differing opinions where one hasn’t been downvoted

      Not even the fight and the downvote is enough for them. Then it turns into mod complaints and permabans.
