Oh yeah it's gotten toxic there too. I get linked to reddit stuff a lot by friends so I sometimes read the comments. People are so angry there.
It began getting more intolerable in June before all the bullshit happened. Can't imagine how it would be to just use Reddit alone now.
I go out of my way to making sure that I come off as calm-headed, polite and as calm as I can. Mainly because I used to be one of those angry redditors who lashed out at everyone. I just... fuck. Did I really used to be that bad?
I swear my blood pressure has dropped since joining Lemmy. Especially over where I call home, Startrek.website
That site really brought the worse out in people lol. I actually had a user curse me out in modmail because I removed a post of theirs for animal cruelty. Had to quit modding there because my blood pressure was getting worse each time I opened the app. Actually got my blood pressure taken last week for the first time since June and it was super low, so I will always now say leaving Reddit did it lol.
Lemmy in areas such as this or your instance are some of my favorite places on this site. No stress or users who want to cause issues with others.
