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.

Have you talked to the Atheists on here? Cantankerous bunch. They’ve been in their little bubble for so long they get triggered by the slightest perceived critique of capitalist materialism.
Wait. What does atheism have to do with capitalist materialism?
How does my belief, or non belief, in god affect my lust for a Playstation 5.
I don’t think they’re against atheism. It’s just the stereotype that online atheist communities tend to be insufferable, and, I’ll say it, holier than thou.
Man have you talked to the Tankies? They attack you even if you try to promote the idea of Socialism (while applying flawless historical materialism). Some people just value circle jerking higher than the exchange of ideas.
Disagreeing with someone and still acknowledging the other perspective as ‘correct from their perspective’ just isn’t something that that online communities can foster that easy. It requires effort and imo a kinda ‘small’ number of users.
This just happened to me. Even tried to use Albert Einstein as a “see, Socialism can work” even though the topic was about tankies specifically. It felt like gaslighting so I stopped engaging.
