So far, I've encountered far more negativity on Lemmy than I did on reddit. Ymmv, but I feel like our smaller user base has concentrated the negativity.
It was real flowery here for a couple weeks during the celebratory fuck Spez exodus when everyones third party reddit browsers died. But yeah, now it's a cesspool of negativity.
Be generous with blocks, both people and communities. It makes a lot of difference.
Fuck you
you magnificent bastard :)
Yeah, no. Not true. I just dared to say that I despise a certain Tech Corp and people reacted "funnily".
I'm not 100% off Reddit, I still venture over there for my WarHammer faction updates. But holy shit, I dipped my toe outside that circle recently and it's a cesspool of anger.
If you see @hexbear in the domain, you can post there and get shit on for days. Hope this helps.
Absolutely devastating for my Lemmy /c/InsultMe community
It took me weeks to get used to the fact that I didn’t have to expect aggressive negativity, and to realize that it was okay to give people the benefit of the doubt. I thought I knew how toxic and negative reddit had become, but I didn’t really get it until I compared it to Lemmy.
That is what changed me from a lurker in reddit to a poster in lemmy.
