I just returned for a couple of minutes and itβs a fucking shitshow. I donβt know if it has become worse or if it just feels like that because Lemmy is much more friendly, but Reddit seems to be much more toxic right now.
It is also so obvious that people are trying to use this as some kind of coup. Users interact with the thematic, get explained what the blackout is about, just to comment complete bs about it one comment later. They are acting dumb to gain momentum.
I really hope this will end up in a worldpolitics situation.
There seems to be a correlation between civility and willingness to put up with spez. If you're willing to put up with all the bs he's been spewing since this started, you're less civil. All the respectful people came here, or are finding other replacements. People who don't care stayed, and it shows.
Makes a lot of sense. Its a fun y microcosm for this kind of conservative attitude that is permeating through society. "No, change is scary and we will not only be against it, but will also be actively hostile towards it."
Fear the people that love peace and quiet, for they will do anything to get it.
You hit the nail on the head! Itβs going to be full of ick just like Twitter. Ah well.
I had the same observations as well! Not sure if it's just my confirmation bias, but it does seem like reddit feels a lot more toxic right now. I feel like it really is compounded by how relatively welcoming lemmy has been for refugees recently, alongside it still being fresh. I feel like I can be more open here as well, and many others probably do so too.
oh its def toxic, there are certain types running rampant and some people get VERY grumpy when deprived of thier volunteer curated entertainment feeds.
I noticed that too. Like a lot of people are upset that users would mess with a company. r/JoeRogan is much more toxic than usual like a flood gate opened
Joe Rogan has always been toxic, its the alt right with a wig
Straight up, all the good subs locked themselves and all of the reasonable people walked away.
Twitter just did the same thing. Spez said he wasn't gonna mimic twitter and then fully mimicked twitter.
Yup. The good mods were what kept reddit from fully devolving into a cesspool. Now the trolls and shitposters who craved less moderation will get it. They can have it.
