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 keep saying this when I was on Reddit: just avoid the front-page or just don’t interact with anything from the front-page. It’s full of immature folks looking for shallow dopamine hit.
I have a mixed feeling about this. On the one hand, I want to interact with more people and hear various perspectives and see more interests. I wish that the community that I was part of in Reddit could come here. But on the other hand, I agree that it could mean the same troglodytes will also flood Lemmy.
