When I first started using Lemmy it seemed like such a nice place with interesting discussions. It seemed like the first group of people to join after the app exodus were being quite careful to be respectful of the existing culture.
Now, it seems as though the culture from Reddit has completely replaced it. Toxicity and all. I will say I do follow a lot of communities from a wide range of instances so it’s clearly not everywhere.
Am I the only one who’s feeling like we’ve just stormed in and bulldozed Lemmy?
It’s the politics, and the siloing as a result.
Anything politics related is incredibly toxic. I’ve received death threats for having the wrong political opinions.
Ah yeah I’m afraid we don’t take the high road anymore. It’s not worked. Probably because “the libs” have realised that y’all don’t have a better nature to appeal to.
(And something tells me you’re projecting)
