To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time đ)
You're viewing a single thread.
Personally, I find the people here very elitist and unwelcoming, and I have found myself spending less and less time here because of it.
And argumentative and pointlessly contrarian. Reddit had that problem too, but it seems more ubiquitous here.
It's a human problem. Only way to avoid it is to not use social media. I'm about to hop off everything it is making me lose hope in my fellow humans seeing some of the comments I see. It's also baffling how genuinely stupid some people come across, or sometimes it's clear they just don't understand what the words they are reading are even conveying.
Interesting, really? Maybe I just donât engage with people that much, but it seems pretty chill or at least definitely no worse than Reddit in that regard
It definitely depends on the community. I'm mostly noticing it in the meme communities. A high percentage of jokes in the memes that I see are at the expense of a group that I am a part of, and I guess I just don't really relate to the people here. So I just don't come back very often.
That could explain the difference in experiences. I filter out those communities as best I can given the tools available.
Have you not seen the Linux fanboys on Lemmy? I see a post every day at least about how Windows is terrible or how x browser is inferior to Firefox.
Mmm, well yes the Linux bias is pretty strong but I donât really like windows either hahaha. I see where youâre coming from though, that could be a little off putting if you arenât at least a little into Linux
