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 feel much the same way. In the past 48 hours I have been called a pro-genocide fascist and Blue MAGA, amongst other similar things, for 1. making a comment about the aggressive behavior of Grad users and how similar it can be to 4chan users aka those who fell into the MAGA pipeline, and 2. explaining to somebody why somebody else asked them who they voted for when they made a comment to the extent of “both sides support genocide.”
I came here to find a new egg_irl and traaaa, and what I’ve gotten is politics and leftist infighting.
