Reddit: “you fucking moron”
I’m wondering if it’s the lurkers. Based on personal experience: I enjoyed Reddit from the sidelines for years–never made an account. Switch to Lemmy and few users means no conversation, so I figured I’d jump in. But it turns out I’m a pretty boring, literal, mild-mannered commenter. Nice, but no zing. I’m still kind of waiting for the banter.

So far my experience on Lemmy.world is more hostile than I was expecting. Very quick to downvote and troll here. Hoping I’ve only just had the misfortune of finding a lot of bad eggs quickly???
Lemmy.world got big fast. Almost everything I see from Lemmy.world isn’t particularly good because of this. It seems to have a lot of low effort content and more hostility. It’s the instance that the laziest group of migrants joined, and it shows. A lot of people didn’t look past the instance with the highest user count. No offense to anyone who joined it, this might not be you just some of the people there are this.
