My experience is exactly the same. I find people way more toxic here, and way more extreme discussions. I still reddit more on my PC, RES makes reddit worthwhile, and I’m unsubbed to most of the very popular subreddits, so my feed is mostly tailored to my hobbies and interests, which don’t seem to be either very active here, or don’t exist yet.
Since I don’t reddit on my phone anymore cause I can’t use RIF, I use kbin. But it’s rather lackluster to me.
We’re Xennials, sir/ma’am. Best microgeneration! And I agree, in fact when I was younger I was more conservative, now in my very early 40s I’m a filthy progressive, especially in the social sense.
