I totally agree. Lemmy had an awesome, friendly helpful vibe and the reddit exodus had a noticeably negative affect on the nature of the discourse. It became more nasty, more petulant more quipy, and more angsty. Now that people are here, I’m not at all saying they should leave, but maybe read the room and try to be a part of something better. The internet doesn’t have to be a hostile place.
Comment on If there is one thing you can change about Lemmy, what would it be?

I’d make the culture more like the rest of the fediverse, instead of reddit like as it is now. Too many ex reddit folk have brought the bad parts of reddit culture with them

Yeah, the feeling of chatting with considerate adults is slipping. I’ve started doing the Reddit thing of typing out a comment and then hitting the cancel button because I didn’t want to deal with contrarians.

Respond with contrarian-bait and then go slap-happy with blocks. Eventually the professional contrarians vanish from your feed never to be seen again.
