Friendlier than reddit, but a lot more really stupid hot takes than reddit. Not as many shitheads; but the shit heads that are here are even shittier than anywhere else I’ve been on the Internet. Mostly the super paranoid security and super hardcore “free speech” folks that are like the main character of Conspiracy Theory. This platform seems to attract a lot of those.
To be fair, I didn’t exactly come here by choice; I was ran off of reddit because Spez is an asshole and killed off the only good way to use the site on a mobile device. Though had I known about Lemmy before the appocalypse I would have come by choice. I didn’t know about it until all that kerfuffle and was already looking for alternatives.

Makes sense. There are two types of people here: those that left reddit by choice, and those that got ran off because they were assholes.

Yeah, same here. But you could have chosen to use their shit mobile app, is what I mean.
