When I first started using Lemmy it seemed like such a nice place with interesting discussions. It seemed like the first group of people to join after the app exodus were being quite careful to be respectful of the existing culture.

Now, it seems as though the culture from Reddit has completely replaced it. Toxicity and all. I will say I do follow a lot of communities from a wide range of instances so it’s clearly not everywhere.

Am I the only one who’s feeling like we’ve just stormed in and bulldozed Lemmy?

    Now they have to die on every hill to prove you wrong no matter what you bring to the table and magically it’s -10

    And you go through their history and they have a two week old account with 27 fights picked.

    Hopefully they’ll get bored of making new accounts and the block lists stay strong.
