If you’d like evidence of the toxic or extreme side of Lemmy, it’s not hard to find. Are we really disagreeing that this is a problem with Lemmy? Regardless, you’re misrepresenting OP with the “declare the other side is unbiased”.

This conversation started started with pushing back on the idea of using Lemmy as a solution to small site discoverability. The toxicity and social aspects are perfectly relevant.

He’s at -5 at the moment. Depending on what instances you have blocked, you’re going to see different amounts. It doesn’t mean those people aren’t there.

Even here, the guy you’re responding to is getting down voted to oblivion (for Lemmy anyways) for an opinion that I have echoed elsewhere and gotten the opposite response.

Not having the majority opinion of this community seems to mean downvotes too. The only real difference is that reddit has enough staying power for people to put up with it.

That would be true worst case, but you’re never running inference 24/7. It’s no crazier than gaming in that regard.
