Don't worry, lemmy definitely beats Reddit in the socially maladjusted toxic asshole department.
The 1% of super awkward people. It's like 50% love and 50% borderline violent ideological debates.
I truly enjoy a good debate "in good faith" where both parties lay out their positions and defend themselves and challenge my views. There's very little of that here. Just pure unbridled rage and astonishing ignorance.
A lot is just assuming your opponent's views. Strawmanning all day. And I do it, too. I like to try to roll it back at some point.
I’ve had 2-3 experiences like that on Lemmy and kbin, but far more on reddit. On Lemmy it tends to be “intelligent but deranged person who hates you” while reddit tends to be “insane or unintelligent person who hates you”.
Yes, this exactly. I've had to block 2 of them and everything's been smooth sailing since.
If someone starts out aggressive or insulting but is willing to have a real conversation, great. Some people are relentlessly angry or condescending and at that point, fuck 'em. I don't need that in my life.
Sorry you've had that experience. My experience is lemmy is less full of hate and BS than reddit, at least.
I debated it for quite a while because they were legitimately trying to have conversations, but they were tankies and rather aggressive. Finally just pulled the trigger and I'm happy I did.
Extremely toxic here. Based on what I've seen today it's not even worth coming back
