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.

    This post as an example?

    There is for sure great comments, but then there is the rest of lemmy.

      But… It’s your post taking about negativity, so you’re saying your post about negativity on Lemmy is evidence of negativity on Lemmy? Or the fact the current vote count is negative?

        Read the comments and tell me, is it postive or negative or netural And compare it with any reddit alternative general vibe.

        You will come to the same conclusion.

        Also, here is a second example: https://lemm.ee/post/30511698

          If you’re referring to the comments as your example, you should link to the specific comments which you consider hateful or negative.

          I don’t find this post’s comment section to be hateful and negative. What comments are you referring to?

      I agree with others, it’s where you hang out. Like reddit or any large group of people online, there’s always a subset of trolls. Lemmy was quiet and nice, as it grew so did the troll count, it’s just natural with online communities. I’ve found some tech communities here are toxic as hell, others are very welcoming
