Elitism ? definitly. Especially linux. But toxic ? I only saw cordials talks in here, with a few trolls here and there.

As for csam I never saw any scrolling a bit every days. I saw people talking about another instance encouraging it and troll spamming, it but never once saw it myself.

What I saw on reddit without searching was almost daily gore. And definitly sone real csam (this was a long time ago, seems to be fixed now)

never forget that /r/jailbait existed

Not just exists, but well tolerated until enough attention was brought that would affect their ability to make money.

Literally everyone from the 6-sided Ursine instance is awful. I've had 0 good experiences with them, and not for lack of trying. The conversation always starts with me making a mild take, they say something about how I just need to get used to the taste of Stalin's scrotum, I say I think committing war crimes is bad actually, and then they say "it's a shame you're so closed-minded, but if you aren't just see this manifesto [link to pig shit balls]".

Tell me I'm wrong.

If you are from that instance: don't respond, I don't want to talk to you.

You're probably right, I just never saw them.
