Much ruder and angrier, and prone to accusations of fascism for any deviation from groupthink. Basically like Reddit but worse, and with less content. Never mind.
I feel like I've actually seen less of that so far on Lemmy (at least on lemmy.world), Reddit had gotten really bad about it the past few years to where it was a requirement to add "/s" any time you wanted to make a joke because some dipshit would purposely misconstrue your comment in the worst way possible unless you explicitly identified it as a joke. Maybe it's still just as bad on other instances or maybe I just haven't made a bad enough comment on here for people to attack me for supporting the side I'm actually trying to make fun of.
I was discussing this with my husband. I think part of it is that some of the Lemmy crowd came over because they were banned on reddit for being hyper-disagreeable, rude, violent lil bastards.
I came over because I got sick of he-get-sus ads

this wouldn't be the first time it happens either
Yeah, I guess aside from fediverse enthusiasts (or whatever), a fair chunk of the early Lemmy adopters may have been banned from Reddit (or at least their favourite subs).
Since the API changes, I wonder if there have been more "normies" moving out this way.
