Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet.

Nope, Lemmy is just as toxic as Reddit imo.

We're so special. We're so strong and brave and we're smarter than everyone

This meme was true a few months ago. Not so much anymore.

I don't downvote but I still leave toxic comments.

Bitch.

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)

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

They're already here

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.

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.

Shitty people are like gases: they occupy all the available spaces.

We still get our share of toxicity here. I mused recently that if you're assessing the success of lemmy/kbin on how close an experience to reddit it is - I've been attacked in the same ways by hyper fixated debate lords here too

You make Reddit look good

It's not that they downvote, it's how they downvote. Which I've seen some of it here but not as much.

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.

Why. Didn't. You. Dodge‽ bleh

I think I’ve downvoted less than five times when a headline is clickbait or similar. Downvote does not mean disagree.

Nah, not in my experience.

If only they would... although now that you asked them to do that, they will come here just out of spite:-).
