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.

are about as bad as the Trump supporters in terms of using personal attacks.

Russian, trumpist, moron, bot, Chinese, tankie, fascist, Republican, child, shill.

This is a selection of things I've been called for saying that Biden should stop supporting genocide.

Tell me how bad the left is about personal attacks.

You being personally attacked for being an (evidently) leftist does not invalidate the numerous personal attacks that leftist have made against me on this platform and others.

If that's what you thought I did, have a nice day.

All of these roll off my back except for the one slur that leftists use against leftists: "liberal"
