I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.
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.

I would not overly praise old reddit like this. I agree that people were more open minded and willing to engage in substantive discussions, but old reddit was also hosting the likes of /r/jailbait, /r/coontown, /r/n*ggers. There's good and bad aspects.
Didn't lemmy.ml have stuff like that too?
I think the whole thing is that your instance can defederate so even if there were things like that existing you wouldn’t see it. There are plenty of instances that’s not federated with lemmy.ml i believe.
