A little maybe, but not much.

I’ve seen people say they left reddit to join Lemmy because of the toxic users. To each their own, but I personally think Lemmings aren’t much better. Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent. People are way too defensive about their opinions.

It is disappointing, but it’s the better option.

    Offering a different viewpoint here: a LOT of people have been directly harmed by religious institutions, which is why there’s such a viciously negative reaction at times.

    “Reddit Athiest”-type Sky Daddy isn’t real, cultist freak stuff isn’t helpful, obviously, but a lot of it is knee-jerk hate responses to the concept of spirituality because they or someone they know was genuinely harmed by a church or a religious person at some point, and when this happens it frequently goes unaddressed. I would suggest blocking instead of engaging if it really offends you, as this kind of person usually isn’t evil, and getting into arguments won’t change any minds.
