I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.

    Huh. Maybe it’s the communities/posts I’ve visited but I wouldn’t agree with your assessment of an inherent negativity/hatefulness. Do you have examples we can discuss?

      I agree, Lemmy doesn’t feel especially negative to me. That said, I use the Subscribed view instead of All, so I guess it’s just about curation.

      I also immediately block users who are obviously just trying to wind people up.

      This post as an example?

      There is for sure great comments, but then there is the rest of lemmy.

        But… It’s your post taking about negativity, so you’re saying your post about negativity on Lemmy is evidence of negativity on Lemmy? Or the fact the current vote count is negative?

          Read the comments and tell me, is it postive or negative or netural And compare it with any reddit alternative general vibe.

          You will come to the same conclusion.

          Also, here is a second example: https://lemm.ee/post/30511698

            If you’re referring to the comments as your example, you should link to the specific comments which you consider hateful or negative.

            I don’t find this post’s comment section to be hateful and negative. What comments are you referring to?
