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'd be fine with the downvotes if they were used as you described, but as there is no realistic way to stop people using them as an "I disagree/I don't like that" button which is in reality the way they are mostly used. I think we'd be better without.
