Hey, we left cause of the enshitification of Reddit itself, toxicity of the users was always part of the package deal.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 105 points 3 days ago

As a Reddit refugee myself,I can't disagree with that. But I will clarify that there's generally two kinds of Reddit Refugees, though:

  • The kind that got fed up with Reddit and wants to be part of something better
  • The people who were banned from Reddit and think this is some kind of safe haven to continue acting on their worst impulses that got them banned elsewhere.

The meme is largely referencing the latter.

to continue acting on their worst impulses

I feel seen.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

As do I, mind you my worse impulses are just me being bloodthirsty. But John Brown was also somewhat bloodthirsty and I dont see anyone of deserving of life criticizijg him.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Idk who downvoted that initially for it's just a little random moment to share that. Probably, it was them being impulsive too.

It's not a big part of me, but I struggle to contain critique of something and it leads to both actual fixes\solutions for some things and bad things happening to me for speaking out in harsh and uncultured manner.

[-] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 days ago

I hope I'm in the first category. This place has less people but better engagement.

You should know what category you fall into... It's not like getting banned and going somewhere else is an event chain you wouldn't know about.

I came because Reddit's a shitty company and due to the ban of 3rd party apps. Which group am I?

Samesies. Ex 13-year account and a Digg refugee before that. Very new here.

Got along for a while by running a zombie 3rd party app and decided to bail before they ruined that too.

Much to learn.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Meh. Maybe I'm just not in the wrong corners of the Lemmy fediverse, but honestly I'm not really seeing very many of the banned finding their way here. That was a huge problem in the cesspools like Voat, but for whatever reason it seems like Lemmy has mostly been spared, in my limited experience at least.

That said, yeah there's a fair amount of blunt talking and general mild misanthropy, but frankly I almost welcome that as a change from the overmoderated sterility of corporate spaces like Reddit which have to think in terms of advertiser-friendliness.

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

Have you ever blocked anyone at all? Or a community, or perhaps your feed is always set to Subscribed? Most of us readily forget what Lemmy looks like to a day-1 account. It takes a bit of effort to clean it up, and if they don't see the value in remaining then they won't put in that effort to learn, rather than simply leave.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

I have 9 users blocked, 10 communities blocked (mostly based on taste, not due to toxicity though), and 0 blocked instances.

[-] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

Rawdogging Lemmy without blocking hexbear and the .ml instances... good luck!

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

You know, I'm well aware of their reputations and I've had a small number of encounters with users from those instances that I'll charitably leave at "bad faith," but by and large I don't really bump into communities hosted on their instances or see overtly bad behavior from their users often.

I'm not trying to defend them or say it doesn't happen (largely because frankly, I just don't care one way or the other), but I can only be honest and speak to my individual experience.

[-] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago

That's great! I really hope the fediverse can replace corporate slop social media, and I think people coming here and not getting turned off by those bad instances is key.

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes exactly. When reddit pulled that api pricing shit, I just got up and left. I came here expecting shitposts, braindead "hot" takes, piss-poor reading comprehension, and americans acting like they're the only country in the world. I got exactly what I expected and I couldn't be more satisfied, 10/10 would nuke my reddit account again.

[-] iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 days ago

Don't you mean 5/7?

[-] Halliphax@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

They’ve started putting multiple adds in the middle of comment sections now

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Toxic users lead to greater engagement and line go up.
