Comment on Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever

  I find the people that I disagree with have much better points, with significantly fewer radicals, idiots or crusaders.

  Honestly, it gives me hope.

  My best experiences online have been as part of smaller communities where you can actually know and recognize other people. I see people commenting on threads and I can remember them talking in a different thread (or multiple threads). So it is much easier to know ‘ok that guy is touchy about this thing but is otherwise a decent person’ and not treat everyone like a 1-dimensional character.

    There is also a place to politely challenge others, especially when you see more out on a long (touchy) expressions.

    I describing myself there on that limb as well of course. I’ve found myself well challenged several times on a limb.

  Yeah same. I’ve had many more educational moments on Lemmy, in both directions, than I ever did in 10 years on Reddit
