When I first started using Lemmy, most of the front page was hate content. Lately it seems like less than 10% though.

Aren’t Redditors getting $ for content now?

Mf acts like CSAM and rampart porn spamming bots are not a thing on Reddit. That's some neat cherry picking right there. Here's the thing, at least rightwing nutcases are far less prevalent here due to defederations.

Lemmy.world is the problem

Literally my first interaction in reddit after I left 2 months ago was with a troll spamming emojis like he was so smarter than me that was laughable. No thanks sir.

I actually don't experience these any of the issues. If you don't like tankie stuff then just block lemmygrad and hexbear.

Tbh, I'm very left so I like lemmygrad anti-capitalist anti-US memes.

They're fine as long as you keep a safe distance, plus it's fun to watch them antagonize any nazis that show up.

I definitely see a lot of toxic comments on here but I think that's mainly from reddit outcasts trying their hardest to be sassy. Sassy unhelpful comments on Reddit won the most karma so it can be helpful to remind them that that doesn't actually work here

Fuck it. I'll take my media raw. I'm not gonna block something just because it offends me and if shit posters start taking over the place well thats just society baby! I prefer it that way to giving some central entity the power to 'clean' up everything how they see fit. Not gonna lock myself into an echo chamber if I can help it.

To all the admins, thanks and take your time fixing things and if instances go offline for a while, thanks for giving me a social media break!

It absolutely is an echo chamber, and it gets really toxic. This place is extremely xenophobic and it's very exhausting.

Lemmy news is a cesspit from a post POV but other than that shrug

I think there are more straight shooters here, could be dude just had bad takes.

It is too easy to accidentally downvote.

honestly I found this was dependant on the instance you are on. I switched instances off my previous one (well technically I bounce back and forth) and I find it super dependant on the instance I'm on with what the toxicity levels are.

Thats funny how first paragraph of their post is describing my experience with Reddit. I think, in majority, people here are nicer. Also Im curious how many backend issues had Reddit in it's first couple of years? I doubt situation back then was better. And its surprising to see anyone on Reddit complaining about backend problems here, while they literally made impossible to create any 3rd party apps or software based on Reddit API.

[–] waow@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

They're not wrong. Lemmy across all its instances has a real hall monitor vibe. It's because most people here are both trans and in IT.

I bet that dude said something racist and got dogpiled. I only see toxic comments on lemmy when I say something racist.
