Last time I felt like that when I joined reddit. Being part of a community of tech-enthusiast from all over the world.
Thank you all for being here. Thank you for contributing. Let`s fail better this time.
Remember how the internet in the late 90's and early 2000's felt so much better? I've heard someone say that's because in order to get online, you needed to be tech-savy and smart because computers and the internet weren't main stream. That's how I feel here. Regular folk won't bother joining (they can stay on FB) or even know about it.
Ah yes, the late 90's. When we thought the future is looking bright and the internet is the tool to achieve it.
Sometimes I look into the mirror and ask myself: "What happend?" :-)
I meant to reply here but commented at the post.
Maybe it’s that. People feel more friendly here. And on Reddit people just commented for karma (or at least that was my impression in the big subs)
you can go back a bit in time a bit more, even, to when aol and others opened up the internet to the masses for the first time:

I've noticed shit posts simply don't get upvotes instead of being downvote bombed.
I like to think people understand it doesn't do anything over here but I'm still hesitant to give people that much credit.
Depending on your instance, down votes are disabled.
