You werenât replying to my comment, which is nowhere near this chain of comments, but I think you were targeting me. Your satire is too close to being serious. I declare that youâre an idiot. Fight me now.

Canât tell you how strongly I disagree. It feels like the first people on Lemmy are the most insufferable know-it-all and holier-than-thou types from Reddit. Say anything about Microsoft or Windows? Hereâs 15 commentwrs telling you how much better they are for having Linux, and two commenters on topic, only to be called inferior by the Linux users. Same for Photoshop, same for social media, same for any paid software.
And everyone who has an opinion must insult anyone who disagrees like itâs political Twitter, only by people who think theyâre smarter cause they were never on Twitter.
Lemmy is so toxic itâs delaying its development. People lurk cause there are too many assholes talking over everyone else.
mob@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
You must be a car driving capitalist tankie to be hatting on this place.
jk, I definitely agree. This place is way more radicalized than Reddit, or at least it isnât nearly as diluted by bots so it seems more prominent⌠Some dope people around here but Iâm definitely losing hope that this place will grow into a cool place.
Itâs all the same topic posts and the same hateful comments, but you canât even find small active communities to get away from it.
littlecolt@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
I like risa on startrek.webaite, for one. you can def find cool communities.
barsoap@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Say anything about Microsoft or Windows? Hereâs 15 commenters telling you how much better they are for having Linux,
Eh. Thatâs like the repeat of âReddit is an anti-American circlejerkâ: No, it isnât. Never was. It was simply the place where many Americans first learned that people who live beyond the brim of their burgers actually exist, and have opinions.
Youâre on a FLOSS platform. Donât be surprised if fanboying for an aggressively monopolistic multinational with inferior technology, held up by duct tape and bribes to system integrators, doesnât make you friends.
Stuka@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Uhh yeah no. I was in reddit for over a decade and the anti-american circle jerk (that is alive and kicking on lrmmy, btw) became much worse over the last few years.
Lemmy loves to pretend itâs superior to reddit, but now weâve just concentrated the elitists and political extremists into a smaller pool of users.
mob@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
I agree with the sentiment that we are on a FLOSS platform, so most people are going to prefer Linux.
But the rest of that comment is silly.
Saying anything about Windows/Max doesnât mean the commenter is fanboying.
Also, are you saying you dont believe social media was manipulated to interfere with American politics?
And the last one really cracks me up about making friends. âAggressively fanboyingâ Windows or Mac doesnât make you friends, but fanboying Linux does? You and I are definitely in different areas of CS then ha!
I think âfanboyingâ in general is the actual issue
VicentAdultman@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Good to see your input and how many people agree with it. I kinda agree, I am one of those jerks that will pray for open source alternatives, lmao, not so for paid or social media. Still being part of majority, I agree with you. I kinda miss the christian memes from reddit, it used to take the bible and interpret in some way, not as it was written.
As somebody said, lemmy have instances. I donât think we are in the need to make more, but idk about that and itâs just an opinion. I think the next step is creating communities that a lot of people miss from reddit but feel they wouldnât be welcomed due to existing communities and the current mindset in Lemmy instances.
Thanks for the comment and saying what a lot of us have been wanting to say.
HerrLewakaas@feddit.de â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Exactly. I donât really like it here
Arthur_Leywin@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Then why are you here? đ¤Ł
June@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
I think the instance really matters. My âallâ feed is full of toxic assholes but my subs are mostly rad folks.
ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Totally agree. I stopped seeing toxic people when I left Lemmy.World. idk why that is. Itâs not like Lemmy.world is a terrible place or anything.
The_Mixer_Dude@lemmus.org â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
I left lemmy a few weeks ago for this reason and I come back today to see whatâs up and itâs exactly as you described. We arenât the only ones either

[deleted]ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Curious, Iâve seen it all over lemmy. Iâve got a couple different accounts for⌠reasons, and on one I tried to make the point that for some demographics, like my parents/grandparents, Windows is the best OS. I was immediately berated for MANY reasons including, being a failure for not educating my family, not caring about my familyâs safety, personally signing them up for the FasTrack to identity theft and scammers, and that Linux is ACTuaLLY simpler and easier to use.
This is pretty tame compared to the piracy guys as well.
governorkeagan@lemdro.id â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Same here â at least all of the communities Iâve interacted with
ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Same here. Maybe Iâve found a nice echo chamber to inhabit. Back when I was mostly using Lemmy.World I saw a lot of weirdos, but for some reason migrating to a different instance seems to have solved that problem. Maybe OP just needs to find an instance that works for them.
xenoclast@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
The problem is not a technology one, and creating a copy of the thing you hate isnât going to get different results.
I never expected it to be better than reddit, actually I expected it to make things much worse through increased isolation of mobs. It does.
Only thing an individual can do is be the change they want to see and be nice to people, and resist the urge to âotherâ everyone they interact with.
That said⌠if this is OPs lived experience we should be happy for them. Theyâre having a positive experience that we all want.
ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
When I left Lemmy.World I stopped seeing toxic behavior on the regular. I am not sure why this is. I am following all the same communities I was before, so itâs not like I left any toxic communities. Even the hexbear people seem mostly civil now. Itâs like all the crazy people left. (Maybe they are all on Lemmygrad.ml lol)
Maybe you just need to find an instance that suits you?
angrymouse@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Except on news and world news that for me are exactly the same.
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago

The roles are simple:

If you deplore those two easy steps

- Donât not hate Capitalism even as a joke.
bestusername@aussie.zone â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
The car thing is insane, even when you explain that you live in as regional area with limit options AND that I can drive to work in 20mins vs 60mins on public transport, you still get yelled.

Depends on the instance. Lemmy world has gotten pretty bad, but Beehaw for instance (no pun intended) remains great.
angrymouse@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Idk what to say in Beehaw form but I heard they hate communists, maybe because of lemmingrad, and then I gave up.

If you like Windows, automobiles, and guns youâre in for a world of hatred here

I havenât found that to be the case, but maybe my groupthink is stronger than I thought.
I will admit I creeped your comments a bit, but you seem pretty progressive to be. What sort of toxic reactions are you talking about?
TauZero@mander.xyz â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
My last comment got downvoted for saying I have never watched Fox news đ¤ˇđž.

Just donât say centrist too loudly and youâll be ok I guess.
Iâm left leaning center these days.
tryptaminev@feddit.de â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
I disagree. Except for rare incidents people who heavily disagreed with me at least made arguments as to why and most of the times these arguments were related to the arguments i made.
EnderMB@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
You kinda need other commenters for that to happenâŚ

my experience: make a comment, wait a day is this thing even on??
pascal@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Which communities did you subscribe?
Because my experience is a bit different, people here seem way more polarized with their opinion (which is always right) and angry at random stuff.
I think I never saw so many âlandlords hatersâ in social media like in LemmyâŚ
yamanii@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Who would love landlords though?
KepBen@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
People who love being housed and love capitalism, probably.
torpak@discuss.tchncs.de â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Is there anyone who likes landlords? Why would they?

So far, Iâve encountered far more negativity on Lemmy than I did on reddit. Ymmv, but I feel like our smaller user base has concentrated the negativity.

Hey man⌠fuck you.
RobotZap10000@feddit.nl â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? Iâll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and Iâve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and Iâm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youâre fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thatâs just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little âcleverâ comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldnât, you didnât, and now youâre paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. Youâre fucking dead, kiddo.
EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago

Snowpix@lemmy.ca â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Wow, this post is absolute trash. You seriously took the time out of your day to create such an absolute fucking trainwreck of a post. Iâm unbelievably disappointed and I donât think I am going to be able to sleep at night knowing that such a horrifyingly godawful post exists on this site. My mental health has taken a hit and I may never recover from seeing this post. OP, this is all your fault. If you had just stopped for one second and thought about the ramifications of this crime against humanity, maybe you could have avoided traumatizing thousands of people. But you didnât. I hope youâre proud of what youâve done, shame on you.

From the POV of a Reddit veteran who had migrated from Digg prior to the v4 update that killed the site, itâs absolutely shocking how much better the Lemmy (or at least Lemmy World) community is.
I also feel like I have a lot more freedom to speak my mind on Lemmy.
My problem with Reddit is that I have had to self-censor my comments to avoid getting them automatically purged by bots. Itâs like I cannot even use words/phrases like âsnowflakeâ, âcuckâ, âincelâ, âTrumpâ, âsoyâ, and many others in a comment, because some fragile power mod decided to effectively shadowban those words. Context doesnât even matter.
Reddit mods are the kind of people who look up to the dystopian ideals George Orwell presented in 1984 and think that banning an entire lexicon of words is a great idea to control people.
As for why I think Lemmy is better, my hypothesis is that everyone with a moral compass left Reddit out of disgust, and what remains is a sea of toxic assholes.
