MODERATORS
I like that Lemmy users tend to be nicer even when disagreeing. "That's an interesting take, friend. I believe the opposite, because..." type replies are nice to see.
Exactly, it's all it takes right? I do genuinely wonder how many people on reddit were just bots, the amount of vitriol was super unbalanced compared to real people like on old forums. Does make ya think....
I mean, anger and hatred does drive engagement, and engagement is what brings in the views and ad revenue, so I wouldn't be surprised.
I felt at least half of the posts on Reddit were vitriolic, so my guess is approximately half of the accounts were bots/shills and astroturfers
