So far, I've encountered far more negativity on Lemmy than I did on reddit. Ymmv, but I feel like our smaller user base has concentrated the negativity.

It was real flowery here for a couple weeks during the celebratory fuck Spez exodus when everyones third party reddit browsers died. But yeah, now it's a cesspool of negativity.

Fuck you
you magnificent bastard :)
Yeah, no. Not true. I just dared to say that I despise a certain Tech Corp and people reacted "funnily".
I'm not 100% off Reddit, I still venture over there for my WarHammer faction updates. But holy shit, I dipped my toe outside that circle recently and it's a cesspool of anger.

Absolutely devastating for my Lemmy /c/InsultMe community
If you see @hexbear in the domain, you can post there and get shit on for days. Hope this helps.
That is what changed me from a lurker in reddit to a poster in lemmy.
Ur fat
Image Transcription:
Black text on a white background reading "Redditors when they post their first content on Lemmy and nobody insults them in the comments:"
Beneath the text is an image of Verne, the turtle, from Over the Hedge, standing in a fancy backyard with a confused look on his face as he says "What is this place?"

It took me weeks to get used to the fact that I didnโt have to expect aggressive negativity, and to realize that it was okay to give people the benefit of the doubt. I thought I knew how toxic and negative reddit had become, but I didnโt really get it until I compared it to Lemmy.
