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.
Reddit has a perverse incentive to keep the user base frothing for engagement
There is no such incentive on Lemmy. We are toxic because we choose to be. All natural, free range, grassroots haters
