Nope, Lemmy is just as toxic as Reddit imo.
It's far more toxic if hexbear finds the thread.
i'm pretty new here (came with the exodus), and it seemed like it would be better for a bit. but i just told a family member a couple hours ago that it seems like the worst of reddit is starting to show up.
I actually saw an increase as well, but lately its become friendlier again. I think it might have to do with the recent waves of defederation, but which instance did it, I don't know
We're so special. We're so strong and brave and we're smarter than everyone
This meme was true a few months ago. Not so much anymore.
Yea this is completely untrue now, at least on any post involving economics and/or certain wealthy individuals
Rip pre-hexbear Lemmy, gone too soon.
Nah, it was creeping in before that. Took off huge with the Sync migration.
I don't downvote but I still leave toxic comments.
Bitch.
The thing that I hate about it is that I am on the spectrum, and as such have posted things that have gotten down voted to hell and back but even when I ask why, I never get an answer. The question "why is this happening I don't understand" only feeds the down votes. Now, idgaf about internet points, I'd just like to know what's wrong about what I said.
And for the record I'm normal ASD, not the 4chan Hitler shit, so it's not because I said anything racist lol
You've made twelve (12) comments, and none of them or your posts are downvoted. What are you talking about?
They're already here
And we're getting stronger each day!

Haha, a toxic comment. Take that, OP
Shitty people are like gases: they occupy all the available spaces.
I got permanently banned from personal finance for pointing out that America doesn't have healthcare and it's a sad problem for employees who get trapped.
The mod situation over there is getting comically bad. Hopefully this place ends up being much less toxic.

We still get our share of toxicity here. I mused recently that if you're assessing the success of lemmy/kbin on how close an experience to reddit it is - I've been attacked in the same ways by hyper fixated debate lords here too
It's not that they downvote, it's how they downvote. Which I've seen some of it here but not as much.
Yes, downvotea are fine. It's a form of moderation. Downloading things that add to the conversation but you disagree with is childish
I generally try not to downvote comments unless someone says something either very stupid or if it's some sort of propaganda. If someone makes a good argument against me, or just disagrees with me, I don't downvote their replies.

kBin overall seems a lot friendlier. Like, there absolutely a handful of some crappy contrary trolls I've encountered, but not like the 8 per thread on reddit.
Why. Didn't. You. Dodge‽ bleh
You make Reddit look good
Depends from the point of view, is he protecting, or is he just collecting users.....
Or just doing squats and doesn't even realize there is a tiny man behind him:-P

Nah, not in my experience.
If only they would... although now that you asked them to do that, they will come here just out of spite:-).

I think I’ve downvoted less than five times when a headline is clickbait or similar. Downvote does not mean disagree.
