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.

    I’ve only encountered the occasional RWNJ that gets banned quickly on Lemmy’s various communities. There’s still a strong contingent of neo-liberals here because Reddit is hostile to anyone not far right enough. I usually label them if I think they might have a modicum to discuss or label then mute them so I know what for.

    I question what sensitive inquiries you make exactly.

    The caveat if you run into nothing but assholes rule also applies. I only show hostility if someone does first or they’re evident arguing in bad faith or keep pushing a flawed opinion. On Reddit, you could say “I like pancakes” and get even the pancake lovers mad at you for not liking waffles enough.
