Comment on I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

Honestly the issue isn’t Reddit, it’s just people. Most people are decent to great, with a smaller group of bad to horrible. With more people on Reddit the pool of bad to horrible is bigger, and they tend to be the loudest of the bunch.

I remember reading about ‘thread poison’ where an otherwise friendly group can devolve into defensive and hostile vehavior just because one person comes along and makes a mean comment.

  I’ve noticed smaller groups work really well. Once they get too large they start to devolve into in-fighting causing smaller sub-groups within the main. It’s almost as if we’re just not designed as a species to communicate with this many people all at once…

    Because we really aren’t. Our brains are probably still naturally wired for small communities and villages.
