A little maybe, but not much.
I’ve seen people say they left reddit to join Lemmy because of the toxic users. To each their own, but I personally think Lemmings aren’t much better. Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent. People are way too defensive about their opinions.
It is disappointing, but it’s the better option.
The internet is and always has been toxic. At least on lemmy, there’s some people who remember what trolling is and recognize it. On reddit and the other platforms, the traditional internetisms are non-existent. People seem to be born yesterday. They have no concept of trolling or flamebait and the like. They take everything at face value and respond to bait with naivety.
