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.

    I’m starting to conclude that social-media is addictive precisely because the people we interact with trigger us and piss us off.

    If I want a rational, polite, and balanced discussion and conversation, I use AI. It’s not perfect, but it’s clearly a superior communication compared to people on any social media platform.

    So why am I here? Complex emotional reasons that make unpleasant interactions compelling (and addictive) and a deep-seated desire to have my worst views about humanity confirmed.

    I’ve used this platform for 24 hours and I’m already thoroughly pissed-off by its users and the abusive way they communicate: Lemmy delivers.

    Social media use is masochistic.
