Yeah Reddit just sucks now. I don't care much about karma, but it can be discouraging to type out a long answer to help someone and just get a downvote with no comment or anything. Over and over again.
The influx of people who don't know how the site is supposed to work, on top of the usual toxicity, has just ruined it for me.
Personnaly, I'm really enjoying it. You can interact without the Reddit toxicity. I miss a few specialized communities but I can live without it.
The behavior is describe as toxic definitely still exists here, and it's worse because the morons tend to get up voted by other morons.
Yup, Lemmy is just as toxic if not more on some aspects
I think the difference is that I have experienced a lot of people engaging constructively with comments that they definitely wouldn't have on reddit.
(Not that they would have reacted badly, they just wouldn't have gotten responses at all)
That's irrelevant, it shows that the hive mind trends toward the stupid opinion.
