A little maybe, but not much.

I’ve seen people say they left reddit to join Lemmy because of the toxic users. To each their own, but I personally think Lemmings aren’t much better. Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent. People are way too defensive about their opinions.

It is disappointing, but it’s the better option.

    And if you don’t like backlash, don’t publish your opinion on a discussion platform.

    Backlash and roasting is something that’s alright. But I can’t stand the blatant false accusations. Post a controversial question , and people will be jumping all over you.

      Hmmh, yeah. I didn’t look up your case. But from my own experience we have quite some diversity going on here. There’s idiots and a*holes around. Some people with weird personalities or who are not overly clever. We also have intelligent, helpful and overall nice people here. Sometimes it’s obvious “it takes two to tango” situations.

      I think to some degree this is unavoidable. And to some degree we should try to do nore to foster good behaviour and disincentive bad behaviour. It’s tricky. And we don’t want a balance that’s just a thick filter bubble either. Unless we’re talking protected safe-space communities.

      I have seen it. There are some who preach tolerance with absolute intolerance. There is no talking to them. Block them and move on.
