When I was on reddit I wasn’t exposed to so many people with extreme absolutist views who will stop at nothing to maintain the echo chamber.
Very few people here are able to make concessions.
I just feel like every time I get on here I go away angrier. We won’t attract new users if we’re like this
In some ways, yes, yes it is. I actually find it more toxic than Reddit, including worse gatekeeping.
Also on Reddit you get crazy fucks from the left AND the right. On Lemmy you only get crazy fucks on the left.
There are a lot of people smoking copium here who think that Lemmy is somehow immune from cultural toxicity, but they are very very wrong.
Also I’ll get down voted for saying this. Apparently you’re not allowed to criticize this platform. You have to praise it.
