Did you ever have that feeling on reddit of “I better word my post just right, otherwise AutoMod will take it down”? Some subs had such strict auto moderating that it was a crap shoot to post something. Not so here. I know there’s value in moderation, and I’m sure Lemmy/kbin/etc. will add more of it with time. But, for now, it was just nice to not be nervous when I was submitting a post here.
I also really, really like the ability to microblog at a magazine. A whole tab just for the casual, quick, less thought out posts that would make people sneer in disgust and smash the downvote button for having wasted their time on reddit. Probably with a “cool story bro” or “sir this is a wendy’s” on the way past. I feel a lot freer to just engage without worry here.
Though I find I’m hesitant to use this feature on communities that aren’t hosted on kbin (e.g. lemmy), knowing they’ll probably just see it as a regular post and have exactly the reaction above.
