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.
Some people just need the first stupid loser saying stupid shit to be verbose and pompous. They wouldn’t mind if he was wrong, they’d join in to attack you
Yeah, I have thought that too. Often I will get several downvotes on something I think is pretty benign, and many of them tend to show up after some asshole is rude/insulting about that benign viewpoint.
