Literally my first interaction in reddit after I left 2 months ago was with a troll spamming emojis like he was so smarter than me that was laughable. No thanks sir.

He is not wrong. I have had to block and get rid of other instances on Lemmy, because they are filled with toxic motherfuckers, and elitist Linux users

When I first started using Lemmy, most of the front page was hate content. Lately it seems like less than 10% though.

I definitely see a lot of toxic comments on here but I think that's mainly from reddit outcasts trying their hardest to be sassy. Sassy unhelpful comments on Reddit won the most karma so it can be helpful to remind them that that doesn't actually work here

Mf acts like CSAM and rampart porn spamming bots are not a thing on Reddit. That's some neat cherry picking right there. Here's the thing, at least rightwing nutcases are far less prevalent here due to defederations.
It absolutely is an echo chamber, and it gets really toxic. This place is extremely xenophobic and it's very exhausting.
Lemmy.world is the problem
Fuck it. I'll take my media raw. I'm not gonna block something just because it offends me and if shit posters start taking over the place well thats just society baby! I prefer it that way to giving some central entity the power to 'clean' up everything how they see fit. Not gonna lock myself into an echo chamber if I can help it.
To all the admins, thanks and take your time fixing things and if instances go offline for a while, thanks for giving me a social media break!

I actually don't experience these any of the issues. If you don't like tankie stuff then just block lemmygrad and hexbear.
Tbh, I'm very left so I like lemmygrad anti-capitalist anti-US memes.
They're fine as long as you keep a safe distance, plus it's fun to watch them antagonize any nazis that show up.
🤨
honestly I found this was dependant on the instance you are on. I switched instances off my previous one (well technically I bounce back and forth) and I find it super dependant on the instance I'm on with what the toxicity levels are.
