I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (lemmy.world)

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

Sure, for the main subs. But the smaller subs for hobbies (for example) didn't have this issue.

I didn't vote much either, though. So many posts were karma farmers reposting old material.

It's arguably so easy to "farm karma" that I accidentally did it for a while. Just kept posting silly puns to reply to stuff people post on the Florida Man subreddit.

Reddit karma ain't worth much at all.
