I like how many of the users don't resort to memes or namecalling (not that there aren't a few here and there) and the replies are straightforward

MODERATORS
I do like it here, but would like to see more activity in specific communities like automechanic help or RV repair.
lots of people viewing and few posting so posts get more attention but there's less stuff
also less complaining
That is a benefit and a drawback for me. The benefit is that I am less addicted to my phone because the content is finite. The drawback is that I need my fix damnit.
When browsing the home page (this is just my subjective experience) I have to be more active in blocking political based communities (just not my thing, I like being happy) but if there happens to be a community for some niche topic that I'm interested in (it was pretty much guaranteed that there was one for everything on Reddit) the posts and comments are generally higher quality. Less reposts, less bots, etc.
Overall, a more enjoyable experience if I tailor it, but still too small for it to satisfy all of my niche fandom based needs. I'm choosing to stick with it and share it in the hope that it grows enough to do that.
Windows hate and politics. It's nothing like reddit imo but it's all I've got as I've abandoned reddit.
I like the folk here
TL;DR; Three points:
- my selected communities seem to provide adequate interesting topics - there's always one or two rabbit holes to go down
- I have a voice - commenting here is transparent and not censored as much as Reddit
- I think the average age of contributors here is greater than the sex and shit joke fixated twelve year olds on Reddit which is a good thing
