Unfortunately, the community here is worse too.

So there's two big immediate strikes against moving from Reddit to Lemmy: your favorite niche subs aren't here and the community is, somehow, worse.

For many people that's enough. For most of the rest, it only takes one or two other negatives to convince them that this isn't a reddit replacement.

Only reason I'm not back on Reddit is their garbage app. If they fixed that I'd ditch Lemmy immediately. The community really is worse here, no matter how much they want to claim it's better.

Yeah it fucking sucks. Every response is political and hyper hostile, like damn I get it capitalism and the USA have caused some issues but man I am just asking about Taco Bell's new menu item.

Tried posting about an obscure issue with the latest Steam Deck update and oh my god 1) I was attacked for being wrong, Valve doesn't make mistakes ever and 2) I don't understand how dev pipelines work (I work in IT dev for a Fortune 100 company haha)

Posted the same thing on Reddit and the response was like hey thanks for the heads up and then helped people affected by the issue get to resolution.

Lemmy as a community truly is super fucking bitter and it sucks. Hope it changes, Fediverse is a cool idea and I am so down for a Reddit replacement but not if it is gonna be an asshole factory.

I'm sorry, but your comments on the Steam Deck post certainly did not help with the hostility, as you were being quite hostile yourself.

In that post, one person made a snarky retort, and clearly you were understandably upset, but I would argue a good chunk of the hostility in that post comes from you. I think possibly even just starting the post with the title containing "basically bricked my deck" is already framing the discussion in a somewhat inflammatory manner.

This guy is very hostile up and down this thread. I wonder why he receives so much in return that he characterizes an entire platform?
