Nothing so far. Sure, it's smaller and there are growing pains here and there, but the folk pretty nice here. Think I'll stay for a while...

I am glad you are having a positive experience. I have seen 2 comments saying that. I am having a much different experience.

[–] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I love you and hope you have a nice day

Maybe it is because of the kinds of communities you visit and the types of conversations you participate in. Try something more neutral or wholesome and you’ll find a completely different side of Lemmy.

If you show hints of anger, hatred, disdain or disrespect in your interactions, people are going to reflect some of it back at you. Maybe that’s why you’re experiencing negative feelings here.

It is funny how you saying you have had some bad experiences on Lemmy is enough to get downvoted.

Almost like you aren't allowed to have a different opinion than the zeitgeist.

I’m sorry to hear that op. I hope you’ll give this platform another chance. I’m sure a lot more positivity will come your way pretty soon.
