I also have the feeling that the comments started to suck a lot more. It’s starting to feel like comments on Youtube or Instagram, not like real people having a somewhat reasonable discussion about the topic.
Yep, interactions are definitely becoming more toxic. Indeed it starts to feel like youtube. I adopted Reddit at fisrt because of how friendly the community felt. That was 8-9 years ago and that time is clearly gone. Lemmy is nice, I hope it will keep growing.
Anecdotal, but I’ve personally noticed a lot more open hostility in comment sections. I’m noticing that it’s starting to make me feel like I felt when I still had Instagram and FB: Lousy.
So I’m now making a conscious effort to use it less and hopefully stop it all together, one day.
The last thing I read before quitting Reddit for good was someone calling me a prick in a pinned post on my profile telling people to go to Lemmy. Needless to say, I’m not sorry I left.
Yep. I was casually talking about which country to move to for getting a master’s in a computer science-related field and I got lambasted just because I mentioned that I graduated from fine arts, despite that I’ve explicitly mentioned that I was going to move away from that field anyway and that the programs I plan to move to allow undergraduates from any background.

That feeling of dread when you notice you have a reply in your inbox
… and there are too many bots in the comments.
