I love it here.
Me too
Wait for it…
Hey, fuck you buddy! You can’t tell me what to wait for!
Fuck you, for fucking buddy, while you are not waiting for it.
Actually if someone is not waiting for it then it would be you fucking buddy fuck you wait for it.
People keep making these memes, yet I keep seeing plenty of vitriol in the comments
Just don’t ask what lemmy app is the best. Trust me.
Literally had someone tell me, unless the lemmy police were actively trying to take my app away, I have no right to complain about the elitism, lol.
Aight bro, you wanted it that way!
COME HERE FOR A HUG!
I think it depends on the instance, I find lots of vitriol comments on lemmy.world.
I noticed OP is a beehaw user, so they’re probably shielded from a lot of the active vitriol we see here.
Correct.
There are fewer kids and fewer people on the right on this platform. So anyone near the center gets treated like dog water. You just dont see many.
Shang Chi is a true leader here
I just joined Lemmy and I have already seen a comment from a tankie telling all Americans to “rot and die” in this same community. So no, it’s not all wholesome.
Bonus points if the tankie was American themselves.
extra points if the user was from lemmygrad
Is lemmygrad what I think it is?
Probably. It’s one of the instances dedicated to Marxist-Leninists. I block some communities there due to not wanting to deal with apologia for what I see as crimes against humanity but, there are also meme communities, etc. Also, despite significant differences, the user interactions that I’ve had have been much less vitriolic than other parts of the Internet.
A Leningrad pun, yes.
And double bonus points with sprinkles on top of it was a bot or shill pretending to be an American.
The good thing about Lemmy it depends of the instance.
If it helps, it only ever seems to be the tankies, which are progressively becoming the minority. I’m sure more dicks will show up in future waves, maybe, but…I’m kinda seeing the point of just the lowest possible entry hurdles.
Actually, hold on, tumblr was talking about ActivityPub a few months ago, so if they ever actually do that and do it functionally, that will change the culture pretty substantially. Much more weeb/sociopolitical. I’m happily fucking out of the politics here by choice.
It is funny seeing tankies come face to face with the real world and their comment ratings sink like the Titanic though.
Yeah, anyone who makes a comment similar to that I always assume they’re a tankie. They are extremely easy to identify based on their comments.
Pretty sure a lot of them are Kremlin/CCP LLMs.
I suppose the difference is the LLM knows how to build a weapon.
I actually saw someone change their mind in a heated thread. It was amazing.
Yeah, on Reddit, especially in bigger communities, if you admitted you were wrong about something (or not at least technically correct in some way), you’d get downvoted and had asshats commenting how dumb you are, so they’d get upvoted for that.
Here, there’s less people to dunk on you, and I imagine, also just fewer kids, who need the validation from dunking and aren’t yet as self-reflected…
What open mindedness does to a mf
Shang-Chi is making some good points
Shang-chi chooses Lemmy, confirmed.
I guess coz the communities are smaller they are easy to moderate !
I saw a Lemmy user give ‘benefit of the doubt’ responses for seemingly curt comments, and then original commenter thanks them instead of feeling attacked. Bizarre to me. I feel like that happened on Reddit more often at some point, even for most non-specific communities, but I haven’t seen it since.
The ol’ Fediverse Switcharoo.
That’s really sweet. As someone younger I never really saw that online. Maybe we can bring it back.
People on lemmy are taking the blue pill and thinking that the fediverse is wholesome, the fediverse is many things (mostly positive) but saying that we’ve got no assholes is a lie (OP did say that “the whole fediverse is wholesome ❤”)
I just blocked Lemmygrad and hexbear and haven’t had any issues at all with jerks since
Those two and exploding heads are trash.
That was definitely a good start, based on my own experience. Just keep an eye out for the popular degenerates from there and be ready to block them as well. Blocking their community doesn’t keep them out of the comment sections else where. Especially politics.

Connect has an option to block comments from blocked instances.
Yep, that’s what I’m using. Works great
Not true but I’ll upvote regardless
The top picture is, and will always be, the whole of humanity. Don’t fool yourself.
Sure, maybe that’s just natural but it doesn’t mean we can’t try
go back to Russia
I’m from California, jackass.
you might like Russia… lots of other cowards live there, it’s their default state of mind… you’d fit in… that’s all i’m saying… i just assumed only a Russian would be out there championing cowardice actively on the internet… sorry bout that Cali…
You didn’t read the whole thing.
Also, that only applies to those in their “in-groups” - people are hard-wired to kill everyone outside their in-groups.
Idk man… I’ve seen some truly passive aggressive comments sometimes. To the point where one could say ‘I don’t like your tone buddy’. Let’s not glorify and patronize communities one over the other.
True. It’s still a good aspiration. Maybe we can get there.

Oh, you’ve seen truly passive aggressive comments have you?!? Name every one.
This has not been my experience
Same. Almost every single argument ends with personal insults. At least on reddit people tried to avoid those because karma was such a big deal. Here nobody cares so they shit on each other whenever they disagree.
