hey! I went on reddit to invite people over here on a subreddit…
And asked if someone would be interested to create maintain a magazine/community that don’t exist here. I got shit over…
Thoughts?

100%. the level of comments kbin are blowing my mind, actual discussion. debate. different perspectives. people writing full sentences and explaining their thoughts.
instead of people being banned and insulted for having a differing opinion. or being told they are mean and bad people.
the 3rd grader level of discourse on reddit didn’t exist 10+ years ago. it happened only after the site because a household name.

People actually communicate here. Those threads are typical Reddit downvote dog piling bullshit. It’s so stark to me now after being away from it for awhile.
@polygon@kbin.social people have got used to the manipulative toxic mainstream social media and their ads and algorithms, that when they join fediverse or Thread inverse, they rediscover that none of that crap is really necessary and they were imposed on us so long ago that they felt normal. But they are not
