It’s not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods… y’all just nice people. Lemmy’s got a good vibe going… or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

    I think it’s because these are actual communities. The admins are just regular people you can talk to like normally. You choose your community. They’re not faceless corporations and I think when a network is a corporation the platform gets less respectful conversation for understandable reasons.

      Reminds me just a little bit of USENET before Eternal September and all the spam that essentially ruined it. Same for the days of BBSes.
