Why does the culture surrounding Lemmy seem to be inherently negative and hateful?
Why does the culture surrounding Lemmy seem to be inherently negative and hateful?
I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.
You're viewing a single thread.
There is !casualconversation@lemm.ee for positive or at least neutral conversation.
If you see too much negativity here, you are probably hanging out in toxic communities.
I saw your last post about Kaspersky on the Piracy community, sorry to see the comments you got.
Each community has its own vibe and moderation policy. A few of them are quite toxic, a few are very nice, the rest is in between.
I took a look out of curiosity and most comments are just saying don’t use kaspersky and their reasoning. If he was personally attacked it was way down and I missed it. All the stuff I saw was a bit incredulous perhaps but hardly vicious or anything.
If you’re going to a technical community and propose a technical solution that a lot of people disagree with, that’s just what’s going to happen. People aren’t going to just sit there and not say something.
Calling someone a moron seems quite agressive to me.

1 comment among over 100 comments calling folks “morons” on a technically-minded corner of the internet over what they saw as bad advice is enough to indict the entirety of lemmy as “inherently negative and toxic”?
