Fear of communication gone after switching to lemmy - Lemmy.world

Hey, I hope it’s ok to post something like this here. I just wanted to say thanks for the people here^^ A long time ago I joined Reddit and tried to post, comment and communicate about stuff I liked. Only now I noticed how much I became a lurker over the time because of the negativity at Reddit. Snappy comments, no real feedback but hate, sometimes even borderline insults… After nuking and deleting my Reddit account and switching to lemmy I noticed how much I missed it. People here are way more friendly and communicate politely. At least for now… Posting is fun again, all thanks to you all^^ That’s my two cents. Thanks for reading. Love you all, keep safe. Cheers

Whenever I got a notification from Reddit, there was always that half second of a sinking feeling of "oh shit what did I say to piss someone off."
I literally stopped checking my notifications there. It honestly started to trigger my PTSD at some points. Using social media shouldn't really result in hyper-arousal, but it regularly did.
