Something here felt different, and I think I realized what.

Content here, at least from my experience so far, is not rage baity. When I go to Reddit it does not take long time until I get to some post that I go into and read because it makes me angry, or people in comments make me angry (and I have a need to engage to bark at the moon).

Here most of content I read because legit interest. Hope it stays this way.

I also hope it stays that way, but it's definitely nice being in "at the ground floor" so that I can block Magazines that I have no interest in, that way the rage bait will never make it to me. I do sub to some news mags because I prefer to get my news in this format so I'm bound to see some, but that's the price of trying to be informed. It'll be nice not to have the usual rage bait right on the top of the popular feed, like antiwork, AITA, and a ton of others that were clearly full of writing prompts just to rile people up and garner a specific type of reaction. My front page looks pretty nice right now but I'm excited to see some more content as kbin grows.
