Uh oh. My more recent experiences with #Lemmy and by proxy #Kbin are becoming increasingly like they were with Reddit (not good). What's the deal with that? Why is the discourse I find on #Mastodon so much more positive and productive than there? Is it an influx of ex-Reddit users bringing bad habits and negative energy with them? Is it the actual software; the format; the layout? What is it? #Fediverse
@maegul@MediaActivist maybe it's also because you can choose what and who you see on Mastodon? On Kbin I follow magazines and have no control over who posts to those magazines.
Currently everything I see seems to be posted by PugJesus, though, so it's almost like they are my feed :)
Yea. On lemmy at least (I’m sure on kbin too) you can block users. But, that’s opt-out not in.
IMO a combination of true person-following and community-following into a single platform or feed manager with nice QoL features would be a great way to consume the Fedi. AFAIU, kbin isn’t there.
