MODERATORS
It's not the size, it's the content and format. When your goal is profit, you set up the system so that it fuels negative emotions to keep people hooked and addicted. Any time you weren't engaged is money lost. I can guarantee, if you go back and look now you'll see so much negativity on there that you accepted as normal before. The Fediverse is non profit and built for communication alone. No competition points, just people.
I dunno if it's just because it's new but it has the feel of a 2000s forum to me, but in a better format to read
I can't go back to regular forums. The threading style of reddit/lemmy is so much better than just a long chain of comments.
