Reddit community is probably the worst and most toxic group of people I’ve ever had the displeasure of interact with on my life.

It’s nearly impossible to have a serious discussion without a single rage bait comment.

I tried for the last time talking about a theory I made up, pretty serious post and a little long, then I go back to read if someone kindly tried to argue or show reason in the comments, the first comment I see is:

You don’t have a theory, you have a fantasy

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

While it’s true you see the same behavior on Lemmy sometimes, it’s incomparable to Reddit. I truly hope there’s not a mass migration from Reddit to Lemmy in the future or it’s just the beginning of the end for Lemmy as well.

I’ve seen some Reddit-like toxicity here a few times but it was pretty rare overall. It’s a reasonable decent place to discuss and interact with others.

    I hate to say it but also gen z (and gen alpha) not knowing shit about fuck is part of the problem. It’s hard to describe without sounding like I’m shitting on them. Cuz it’s not their fault.

      My brother in law is a university professor and told me yesterday that the students he’s getting now can’t even read. He’s contemplating retiring early because of this.

      And the kicker, he says that a college education is a waste of money at this point. He says you can learn a lot more on your own with just internet resources and no distractions from the people who are in college now.

      I would have never been able to predict this sort of comment from him. It must be really bad.

        Indirectly it might be. Never watched the show. No idea where I heard the term. “Fuckall” just seemed out of style.

      They were raised on social media, social media gives a voice to the loudest and the dumbest because that drives engagement. It’s no wonder they are all a bunch of morons when thats the only thing they have known.

      Boomers and gen-x had leaded gasoline making them dumb millennials had brain damaged idiots raising them to be dumb and now gen z has social media making them dumb.

        Totally. Like they live in a world where the potential payout for playing the clout lottery is significantly higher than anything traditional hard work can guarantee them.
