most of the toxicity I've experienced on lemmy has been from established users so idk.. but I should add that it's way less toxic than reddit so far

It's gotten pretty bad on the politics front lately. It's like an entirely different community now compared to last year

I hope it dies down after the election but I'm not getting hopes up

The election was going to make the Russian bots start shit stirring, but what really got Lemmings at each others' throats was the Palestinian genocide.

It kinda depends on the outcome. If Trump wins it'll get substantially worse.

I make a point to just not open any thread that mentions US Politics.

Overall it's less toxic than Reddit, as evidenced by how many people were lurkers there but here actually feel comfortable enough to open up and contribute.

I note that you are on Lemmy.World, which blocks some of the most well-known trolling instances. That indeeds helps a ton, though means that the experiences of someone who joined e.g. lemm.ee instead are going to be quite different.

Blocking is key. Once I started blocking some communities, my Lemmy experience got a lot better.

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

It's just less people. People will always be people wtv they are.

[-] Zementid@feddit.nl 7 points 2 days ago

Less focus by Russian bot farms to steer the discussion.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Indeed, fuck Russia.

Well, most users here are former/current Reddit users, but somehow a lot of them think that it's less toxic here.
