It feels like people are a lot nicer here than on Twitter and Reddit, and even when people disagree, it's generally civil and not an all-out flame war. Also, there's no algorithm promoting outrage all the time.
For me, the anticipation of toxicity was a huge deterrent for me ever participating in real discussions, but here I feel like I can be myself.
I think it's healthier this way.

Ive encountered a few, and i think had a post deleted. Sure it was kinda low effort but i learned that old plates had lead on them so i shared. And some jesse dude got offended by it being low quality fear mongering even though its a fact the plate have lead paint. Kinda puts me off the TiL here.
I've encountered more than a few. You expect that sort of stuff when forums hit critical mass, but smaller communities I sort of expect civility. Sadly not I guess. The conspiracy theorist in me is wondering if it is trolls and bots intentionally trying to sour this place with their toxic assholery, to keep people from migrating here and sticking with reddit or whatever.
You might be onto something, someone making negativity bots. As for reddit i just liked Rif i think.
