Has the Reddit exodus killed the former Lemmy culture? (slrpnk.net)

When I first started using Lemmy it seemed like such a nice place with interesting discussions. It seemed like the first group of people to join after the app exodus were being quite careful to be respectful of the existing culture.

Now, it seems as though the culture from Reddit has completely replaced it. Toxicity and all. I will say I do follow a lot of communities from a wide range of instances so it's clearly not everywhere.

Am I the only one who's feeling like we've just stormed in and bulldozed Lemmy?

That depends entirely on what instances we are talking about. Lemmy.grad and Hexbear users have no business existing anywhere but their own shitty tankie bubble.

Are those the super communists that are like fuck any place that's not Russia and China? Lol

If so I guess I feel the pain but I just give em the block

I do too but my fingers are starting to hurt with them infesting every corner of the fediverse.
