Personnaly, I'm really enjoying it. You can interact without the Reddit toxicity. I miss a few specialized communities but I can live without it.
The behavior is describe as toxic definitely still exists here, and it's worse because the morons tend to get up voted by other morons.
Yup, Lemmy is just as toxic if not more on some aspects
I think the difference is that I have experienced a lot of people engaging constructively with comments that they definitely wouldn't have on reddit.
(Not that they would have reacted badly, they just wouldn't have gotten responses at all)
Eh, the world news and lemmys covering the wars right now are just as toxic as Reddit.
I'm hoping this place keeps growing though, seems to be stalling but it's worth hanging around for to help see it grow.
If it grows it'll become reddit. I want it to stay like it is now. This makes me happy. I like this.
Yeah Reddit just sucks now. I don't care much about karma, but it can be discouraging to type out a long answer to help someone and just get a downvote with no comment or anything. Over and over again.
The influx of people who don't know how the site is supposed to work, on top of the usual toxicity, has just ruined it for me.
Hah! If I ever mention that I use Windows, Chrome, and I subscribe to YouTube Premium, I'll be publicly hanged on Lemmy. If you don't use Linux, Firefox, and host your own Plex serv... sorry, Jellyfin server, then you're scum. And don't let me start on politics, and especially Israel v. Hamas. Jews should be deathly afraid of a lot of people around here.
All of this has made me less active on Lemmy, and I've started to use Reddit again, albeit a lot less than before. And I do in fact use Fedora, Firefox and host my own media server, but I'm not being an ass about it.
