  • Well why would lemmy and reddit be any different? Same format, same people - just on a smaller scale. But it makes any drama more visible.

    Well, when the first migration to Lemmy happened (when Apollo got shut down because of Spez and such), Lemmy was quite friendly and welcoming. Debates and discussions weren’t as heated, and people debated with a genuine interest in the topic. People claimed Lemmy was better than Reddit, and I remember mentioning that it would change, and a few months later, it did, and I mentioned that too and got heavily downvoted. But behold now; different platform but the same kind of toxic environment.

    Though there are still some people who claim Lemmy is better than Reddit, because they don’t like Reddit and/or got banned from Reddit.


  • The more read about these bans stuff on Lemmy, the more I just see the similarities between Reddit and Lemmy lol.

    • Random bans because you said something that disagrees with the moderator.
    • Fake modlog to ban users.
    • More hostility these days.
    • People argue just to… argue. Not to have a genuine debate.

    Eventually every social media platform becomes the same kind of environment. Unfortunately.






  • While it’s true you see the same behavior on Lemmy sometimes, it’s incomparable to Reddit

    you just have not ‘found’ the communities yet. Lemmy is pretty much just Reddit 2.0 but then with more people that have technological knowledge. Keep in mind there are a lot of people from Reddit on Lemmy (both ones that left Reddit and only use Lemmy and ones that use both). Personally, I have had the displeasure (as you call it) to experience the same ragebait, toxic toxic behavior on Lemmy that is usually on Reddit.

    The good thing of Lemmy though, there is no limit on the block-list. So you can block anyone who is being a annoyance.

    It’s just insufferable, I don’t know why I keep interacting on that shitty platform.

    If it disturbs your peace of mind, leave the comment section. Use RSS for the specific subreddits you regularly visit and keep it at that. This also gives the added benefit: When posts are removed by the user, mod or Reddit itself. You can still visit the page through RSS feed.
