The truth of the matter is that you can get rejected and banned on Reddit for absolutely no serious reason, so I don't think reddit refugees are all toxic people

I for instance was permabanned from both my accounts because the mods on a subreddit I was banned reported me to reddit admins for ban evasion when I didn't even know something like this existed, when at the same time I was talking with the mods to lift the ban! I had both my accounts for at least a year so surely I didn't have any of them for evading any ban, reddit mods are arrogant and so full of themselves because there are millions of people there and at the same time they forget that the people made it what it is

People will be toxic no matter what. I don't think making prospective new users feel unwelcome is a good idea when we'd like to see some growth.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It's kind of a game of balance to me

We should make sure toxicity remains unwelcome, but new users should be welcomed without negative expectations. Otherwise, we either make all newbies feel like they don't belong, or turn Lemmy into another Reddit, which would also alienate users since this is what they fled from.

Lemmy is FAR more toxic than Reddit.

A lot of users here are not Reddit refugees, they are Reddit rejects.

Is this specifically about that one guy from last week a bunch of people blocked retouch straight away after his "I'm here from reddit" post?

Just the other day I had to block this idiot from harassing me, claiming I was faking ignorance about Trump's stance on Israel so I could "bait Americans into a discussion", for some reason. I'm European, I don't follow presidential candidate policies very closely at all. This tool was also European, and Palestinian. I don't know why they were insisting so hard I would do this inexplicably weird thing, but maybe their emotions were running high. I'm against genocide btw, of course. ✊

Please forgive them. Many people in the USA are going to literally die depending on what happens in the next month, so yes emotions are running quite high right now. You stepped into a VERY active minefield there:-).

Oh, but definitely block them - I mean forgive as in don't let it weight you down, but absolutely cut that noise out of your life.:-)

I usually just block everyone that posts about politics in general. Shit is annoying af.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Politics is an annoying part of life, for sure, but I was engaged in the conversation so I guess I have some part in it.

Yea no. Try having a nuanced discussion on any (insert heated topic here) on Lemmy and watch the labels fly out faster than the ejaculate of a post pubescent 15 year old.

tf you talking about, lemmy is 10 times the shithole reddit ever was

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Strongly disagree, but maybe it depends on which communities one frequents.

Uh yeah welcome, could you leave that baggage outside tho? kthx

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully the absence of an algorithm pushing engagement at all costs will dispel some of it.

Would you like to be the moderator of Pyongyang?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

You just got banned from EU

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I think any real user from Reddit that isn’t a bot is an asset these days. I hate Reddit as much as the next person, but giving people shit for coming from there to here feels hypocritical.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

I think both can be true tbh. I welcome everyone from reddit and encourage us to grow. I also will say leave toxicity at the door, or sub to other instances/communities that enjoy it.
