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 remember reading about ‘thread poison’ where an otherwise friendly group can devolve into defensive and hostile vehavior just because one person comes along and makes a mean comment.
I’ve noticed smaller groups work really well. Once they get too large they start to devolve into in-fighting causing smaller sub-groups within the main. It’s almost as if we’re just not designed as a species to communicate with this many people all at once…
Because we really aren’t. Our brains are probably still naturally wired for small communities and villages.
