Kids are Reddit. If they sense weakness; the others will pile on.

The same happens here. Just try to say anything remotely positive about Twitter/X, Elon Musk, or conservatives in general. I don't even like any of those, but sometimes I call out hypocrisy and get absolutely dumped on (even got a couple death threats). The problem isn't with Reddit, it's with social media in general, it really brings the worst kinds of people together.

People suck. Try to be just a little better than the person next to you and we'll all hopefully get through this.

You're right. I'd argue that lemmy has the advantage of not being so popular, and that the mindset is by default more counter-culture than status-quo (otherwise we'd still be on the major sites), so I do think that the people here tend to pile on less.... though I do admit that there are plenty of pylons here
