Lemmy

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.

They're not wrong. Lemmy across all its instances has a real hall monitor vibe. It's because most people here are both trans and in IT.

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.

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.

Well...bye.

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.

If someone corrects what you wrote into an English sentence, and you have a problem with people looking out for you, then you're a dick.
