I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

I often think the place would be better with no downvotes.

I agree. Hate to mention the R-place, but some of the subs there that only allow upvotes are a generally more positive place.

When your post is downvoted, you're sometimes left wondering why, and question yourself. That can lead to less engagement. Same can happen for disagreements of course, but at least then it's clear what the problem is.
