  My question — is the percentage equal with reddit obviously having higher total numbers or is the percentage actually significantly lower on Lemmy?

    I have no special knowledge here, but my hunch is that it’s more to do with for one thing is a smaller neighbourhood, but also there’s no account karma making you feel better than others. Also, many of us use a frontend that allows tagging, so it’s easy to remember people by a specific reputation.

    There’s no benefit to discarding people the second they fail to please you because you’ll just make the whole thing unusably empty, so there’s more of a tendency to act like everyone’s just people. There are still Reddit-like behaviours, but it’s far more human.

      that was a thoughtful and accurate explanation.

      And right to your point, I was a frequent contributor to another NON POLITICAL lemmy group. Over a few months I was being attacked. I guess my neutral attitude offended those who insist that they and only they have the right answers for everyone. Bottom line I just left the group and continues to shrink in views, posts, and comments.

        I tag people if I have a problem with them. If I see them being cool in other contexts I change the tag, but if I see them consistently being ungroovy I just block em. Now I mostly don’t see anyone being vile, after two years.

        You’ve only got to worry about maybe 5% of people. Most folks are good, and if you can avoid the rest it’s a good world we’ve got.
