That's something to appreciate about Lemmy. People can destroy you while you hold a position they think is wrong, but as soon as you change your mind they are friendly.
EDIT: usually
Lemmy and most sites are a lot better when you turn off likes/votes/whatever arbitrary number they call it. I don't really give a shit how many people like/dislike something.
I think you’re probably right, but I also suspect that the upvote button avoids a lot of “this” and “you are so right” replies burying the substantive ones. It’s certainly kept me from making low value or redundant replies in the past.
It’s also interesting to occasionally scroll though my post history and see which comments struck a nerve with fellow lemmings. It’s a secondary simplified version of the social interactions and discussions here.

My experience on Reddit was the same, but maybe I didn't hang out in the bad spots
