Lemmy

🤨

Lemmy news is a cesspit from a post POV but other than that shrug

I think there are more straight shooters here, could be dude just had bad takes.

It is too easy to accidentally downvote.

I bet that dude said something racist and got dogpiled. I only see toxic comments on lemmy when I say something racist.

honestly I found this was dependant on the instance you are on. I switched instances off my previous one (well technically I bounce back and forth) and I find it super dependant on the instance I'm on with what the toxicity levels are.

Thats funny how first paragraph of their post is describing my experience with Reddit. I think, in majority, people here are nicer. Also Im curious how many backend issues had Reddit in it's first couple of years? I doubt situation back then was better. And its surprising to see anyone on Reddit complaining about backend problems here, while they literally made impossible to create any 3rd party apps or software based on Reddit API.

Someone told lil' whiney here something he didn't like. Lemmy has been great in my eyes. Since getting here in the exodus of reddit 3:16 "And whoa, fuck uspez, this place sucks" it has been pretty great. Kinda like 12 years ago reddit.

But this is social media. There will be trolls. There will be people smarter than you. And likely dude got buthurt and went back to the communities where his thoughts are welcome at large, even if they are wrong or misleading or whatever. Safe space so-to-speak.

If he thinks this is toxic, holy shit is IRL ever gonna eat him alive. Even the redditards who simp it up for maga and r/conservative won't save him then.

I think they might have a point about the moderation issue. It's the same story on mastodon and the fediverse where there is too much to moderate and prolific ban evaders can run rampant.

For what it's worth I believe that rough edges like this are a small negative compared to the postives of being able to use social media without being under the yoke of a big tech company.

Well...bye.
