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.

    No, they’re not. The hivemind isn’t as bad. But there’s brigading of sorts, plenty of trolls, circlejerking, bad mods, and bad faith arguing.

    I mean, that’s pretty much the internet in general, just reddit’s got much more of it by the numbers.

      Lol. Most popular instances literally block instances known for having users with differing opinions. How much more hivemindy can we be?

        Having a different opinion isn’t hivemind, and I did mention brigading, which some of those “different opinions” engaged in.
