I am curious why so many of you folks are so hostile by default. We’re trying to build a decentralized community not a openly hostile community.
Internet itself is really hostile, among the parts of the internet that I’ve been to, this one is so far the most civilized of them.
That really hasn’t been my experience, but then I just block people that make my experience here worse, so maybe just try that.
Do you think that a lot of people come to Lemmy because they got banned from Reddit? I often wonder about this.
Well, I did in a basic sense. But mostly I just oppose Reddit’s extremely nonsensical censorship these days. But I was banned for sharing opinions and debating people… not for breaking rules or being hostile toward users.
Bullshit. Your comments were deleted because you were being a dick. Check the modlog, it’s all in there.
I responded to other being a dick :P
Yeah, I was talking about the people who are hostile and abusive. I’m wondering if the people who are so disagreeable on Lemmy came straight from Reddit.
Use the block and report buttons. People can be rude. People act like lemmy is somehow better but it’s just redditors who like tech.
Also, fuck you!
I enjoy arguments and I’m comfortable with confrontation so I haven’t really felt it be annoyingly/hurtfully hostile. Perhaps I’ve just been lucky and I’ve avoided all the difficult folks, lol. Hopefully it gets better for you! 🙏
Yep. People here make Reddit users look like angels. I’ve also noticed how absolutely toxic people here are. Now I will be downvoted and told to leave if I don’t like it.
I can just only assume that since the majority of people came to here solely due to Reddit’s API changes 2 years ago, they are more inclined to critique, and a non-insignificant amount of them are just hateful or quick to judge.
I’m an ex redditor as well, but I don’t really have any idea of what the average reddit comment section, cause I have only watched the top comments.
We can maybe even consider the chance that online or chronically online people did become more hateful over these years.
Good question tbh
May I ask, what kinda hate comments do you get?
