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.

    ffs, Lemmy’s strength is in it’s decentralised non corpo design, not that we users are a better quality of human. It went from Usenet, to the centralised shitiness of Reddit back to a decentralised system in Lemmy/Piefed more akin to Usenet

    but, I’d also argue just by being here you’re a better person.

      Look, Lemmy is a little better than other social media. But, that’s taking it a bit too far. What social media a person uses says very little about their morals.

        Yes. Obviously their choices of operating systems and text editors are the largest factors.

        Yeah even without ads or profit incentives we still haven’t solved the social problems of social media, let alone the ethical problems in the hearts of people
