Lemmy isn’t reddit, but whatever it is, they’re both the internet.
We’re so special. We’re so strong and brave and we’re smarter than everyone
And humble. But I’m the most humble
No IM the most humble.
I’m the most humble and so’s my wife!

Nope, Lemmy is just as toxic as Reddit imo.
i’m pretty new here (came with the exodus), and it seemed like it would be better for a bit. but i just told a family member a couple hours ago that it seems like the worst of reddit is starting to show up.
It’s far more toxic if hexbear finds the thread.
This meme was true a few months ago. Not so much anymore.
Yea this is completely untrue now, at least on any post involving economics and/or certain wealthy individuals
Rip pre-hexbear Lemmy, gone too soon.
Nah, it was creeping in before that. Took off huge with the Sync migration.
It’s better, but I still often see posts with massive amounts of downvotes for no reason.
Also this is specific to SJW, but I often see the opinions from the people that are less invested in the topic being pushed all the way to the bottom, due to the more active people downvoting everything. (agora)
Is the goal of social media to inform, or be popular?
Social Media-ites: “Yes”.
:-P
I don’t downvote but I still leave toxic comments.
Bitch.
They’re already here
And we’re getting stronger each day!
The thing that I hate about it is that I am on the spectrum, and as such have posted things that have gotten down voted to hell and back but even when I ask why, I never get an answer. The question “why is this happening I don’t understand” only feeds the down votes. Now, idgaf about internet points, I’d just like to know what’s wrong about what I said.
And for the record I’m normal ASD, not the 4chan Hitler shit, so it’s not because I said anything racist lol
Reply with some heavily down voted comments and I will try and help you, if you’re willing.
Ty but reddit has been Uninstalled. Originally said the account was deleted but idt that’s true actually lol too tired to go through all that
Probably for the best! Welcome to Lemmy :)

You’ve made twelve (12) comments, and none of them or your posts are downvoted. What are you talking about?
I’m talking on reddit. Like the meme refers
Hell, a lot of the time you’d get downvoted purely as some form of competition. An attempt to increase the chance of their post/comment getting upvoted. Then there’s the rest who downvote it purely because it was already downvoted by others.

Haha, a toxic comment. Take that, OP

agree, I tried advertising Lemmy to my friends, but when they are showing very little interest in the idea of digital freedom or privacy I just stop trying.
It also doesn’t help that one person in question jumped the (reddit) ship to Twitter.
Someone else I tried playes League and OW2.
I made the decision that maybe lemmy isn’t for everyone. please stay unpopular/hidden and fun.
Wait, hold up, I play OW2. How is that an argument against using Lemmy?
I’m sorry, but it’s time for you to leave. /s
But seriously. It’s not an argument against using Lemmy. It’s more, that OW’s community has a reputation for being toxic and he does not want them on here.
People downplay the reasons people get toxic on games like OW
When you’re forced to rely on other people to help you achieve a goal and the majority of those people have the cognition of a brick it gets pretty hard to stay calm.
It’s why I quit playing team based games like it in the first place. I wasn’t having fun and I’d get pissed over small shit.
I don’t think being toxic in a game translates to being toxic in a meme community.
Although lemmy communities for league and OW (tbh most of lemmy) are much much less inactive the than their reddit counterparts.
Getting downvoted because lemmy dickriders got upset
Probably that those games have massive reddit communities?
what SomeBoyo said, but also because of stereotypes. You can kinda assume someone’s personality by what a they like, and this is not a very joy sparking track record.
I feel like I have to note: I have nothing aginst you.
Oh, I understand, I didn’t try to start an argument by my comment. Was just curious as to how OW is nowadays perceived from outside, and the picture is kind of sad. But eh, the game is fun as long as I keep text and voice chat disabled and just play for myself - so the community complaints are absolutely valid.
That’s toxic
;)
Shall I dye my hair?
NAH GET A SHOWER
Shitty people are like gases: they occupy all the available spaces.
I got permanently banned from personal finance for pointing out that America doesn’t have healthcare and it’s a sad problem for employees who get trapped.
The mod situation over there is getting comically bad. Hopefully this place ends up being much less toxic.
No fuck you :-P
Jk, ily
It’s true, we dont have healthcare unless your a member of congress, old, or poor. And old and poor people still have really shitty healthcare. The rest of us have “good” health insurance where a medically necessary sleep apnea test consisting of me getting to borrow a $200 sensor for 2 nights and a few minutes of someone analyzing the data, cost me $700 out of pocket.
kBin overall seems a lot friendlier. Like, there absolutely a handful of some crappy contrary trolls I’ve encountered, but not like the 8 per thread on reddit.
