Over the last week or so I have noticed that I have a lot more fun engaging in discussions on here as opposed to reddit.

On reddit i always felt like i was shouting into the void and there was nobody listening, which resulted in me becoming a lurker for the last 12 years.

Maybe it's the small size of this community, the lack of karma farmers, that I've finally lost my mind or a little bit of all of the above, but this place just feels like something special. I'm really looking forward to building the fediverse with all of you!

I think it's the same for me but to be honest I mostly participated in smaller communities on reddit and here on the fediverse the communities are even smaller. If fediverse grows to the same size as reddit one day, believe me it's going to feel like shouting into the void again. Subreddits go to shit if they get too large (and moderators aren't strict enough), and social networks in general just get too big for meaningful discussions or interactions with people eventually. We're just not built to handle that many different people and opinions per day and actually still see them as people to be empathized with.
