    I just returned for a couple of minutes and it’s a fucking shitshow. I don’t know if it has become worse or if it just feels like that because Lemmy is much more friendly, but Reddit seems to be much more toxic right now.

    It is also so obvious that people are trying to use this as some kind of coup. Users interact with the thematic, get explained what the blackout is about, just to comment complete bs about it one comment later. They are acting dumb to gain momentum.

    I really hope this will end up in a worldpolitics situation.

      There seems to be a correlation between civility and willingness to put up with spez. If you’re willing to put up with all the bs he’s been spewing since this started, you’re less civil. All the respectful people came here, or are finding other replacements. People who don’t care stayed, and it shows.

        Makes a lot of sense. Its a fun y microcosm for this kind of conservative attitude that is permeating through society. “No, change is scary and we will not only be against it, but will also be actively hostile towards it.”

      I noticed that too. Like a lot of people are upset that users would mess with a company. r/JoeRogan is much more toxic than usual like a flood gate opened
