It's so much easier to comment on Lemmy because it isn't a toxic cesspool waiting to tear you apart

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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Eh. I've already spotted some ideological zealots and full threads pandering to them on here, sadly. I think if Lemmy does take off, we'll sadly see that culture of toxicity blossom here too.
Yep I'm going to just take it in while it lasts. Its been great so far.
Same. I stopped commenting/posting on Reddit years ago due to the toxicity issues being referenced, and it's nice to be able to participate again. Don't think it'll last that long though, but you're right: enjoy it while it lasts.
