Interesting, really? Maybe I just don’t 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 don’t really like windows either hahaha. I see where you’re coming from though, that could be a little off putting if you aren’t at least a little into Linux
