When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

    My theory is that it’s a combination of a few factors:

    1. Smaller communities mean you’re likely to interact with the same people. Even if people don’t consciously think about it, they don’t want to be known as “that guy”

    2. The first wave leaving Reddit were those most dissatisfied with how it worked, and are more committed to making this place work

    3. Honeymoon phase. People are being far nicer and more considerate as it’s a new platform

    If we can keep maybe 1/4 of that as the platform grows and changes, I’d take that as a win.
