Gotta say, I haven't seen a single "would of", "could of", or "should of" since coming here.
/S is debatably wrong, but the former just is.
That's been nice.

Not gonna lie, I miss the "would of" bot that corrects people. Some people would actually get pissed off and swear at the bot, not realizing they're just showing how stupid they are for everyone to see.

Damn you just reminded me to keep using it /s
Chances are that Lemmy has about the same makeup of people as Reddit, mostly. I'd say that where the difference lies is in the amount of tolerance they have for Reddit shenanigans.
Stupidity on the internet is amplified with resonance. One says something stupid, trolls or being rude, the other responds and the intelectual level of the discussion is plummeting. So my theory at least is that there's about the same percentage of "stupid". We just haven't yet reached critical mass.
Not likely. I've seen people so politically corrupt they just refuse all sources as russian misinformation

We are enlightened acorporal beings of pure thaougt living on this rarerified plane of dotworld. We need no hashtags to convey our multivariate meanings. Each word has 1000 facets that are immediately understood by fellow Lemmingtons. Truly we are blessed.

I find myself using it less on lemmy, but I think I have used it on occasion here, just to help to "distance" myself from whatever crazy shit I've commented. Ever since 2016, it's been a necessity when you can't rely on people to assume you're not as batshit crazy as what your comment reads as, which you really can't assume of anyone anymore. I've had plenty of times where I wrote a sarcastic comment in order to make fun of an idea, only to have people (who I'm pretty sure actually agreed with me) explicitly make the point that I was attempting to make through sarcasm, but they're attacking me because they think I'm an idiot (which is still possible).

For the most part yeah. I've gotten in some arguments here, and lemmygrad is pretty damn dumb, but the problematic people for the most part stay on their toxic instances that get defederated. They're isolating themselves for us which is nice.
For the more part, like 95% of the people here are cool and more understanding. I also like chill conversation on c/cafe (still figuring out how to link stuff on mobile lol).
This site is also pretty damn active now. I see front page posts getting 1k+ updoots now, which was far from the case before! Still have the issue of smaller communities getting buried and rare to pop up on the front page though. Reddit was much better about that in balancing small communties to show up more instead of being dominated by popular ones.

It's weird, but I just don't feel the need to as it here. I just sorta assume everyone knows I'm pretty much always being sarcastic, ironic, or both.
Yes. /s
