    Odd, my experience is the opposite. Everyone here is chill and I rarely get flooded with downvotes. I’ve only had one asshole in my replies.

      Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works defederated from some of the more problematic instances. You’ll see it happen more on lemmy.ml.

        That hints me that what people here is calling “toxic” is politics-related, since I’m a lemmy.ml user and I certainly would not say that my experience here is overall “toxic”.

        And, funnily enough, most of the issues that I had were with users from either lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works; sometimes lemm.ee.

          A lot of it politics related in that someone posts something even slightly critical of communism and a ton of people dogpile on them.

          There may be toxic 1v1 conversations, but I generally see dogpiling only from one side.

            Got it - mostly politics, then. That explains a lot why you guys are seeing far more toxicity than I do, I don’t generally join political discussions. (And when I do, since I’m myself communist, perhaps I don’t even notice it.)

              Yeah. If you don’t participate in the discussions and you aren’t likely to get targeted if you do, you probably won’t see it.

      I agree with you, for the most part this has been my experience as well.
