“be the change you want to see in the world”, or in this case, “go ahead and post stuff. Nobody here is superhuman, but we try to do the right thing and be chill with people who also aren’t quippy dickholes” aka, be human.
I’m sure this won’t last, but for now it seems to be better than Reddit, at least. The way I’ve thought about it is that this takes a certain level/threshold of technical know-how/problem-solving to enter, so it filters out the most casual of thoughtless people (for now). Like if you can’t put some serious thought into morality or slightly deeper rationality into a situation, you probably can’t jump the bridge to fediverse-lemmy.
Also, as time goes on, I’m noticing all kinds of communities fragmenting into smaller, more specialized communities. Hopefully, Lemmy can be the platform/community of thoughtful considerates who are slightly tech elevated and more social.
Participating has really helped. I’m still struggling to post, but I try to comment wherever I feel I can add value, however small.
Build the platform you want to be part of.
