I came here around the time the rif app shut down, and the general vibe I get from this place is much more negative than when I joined. Is Lemmy growing more toxic or is it just my imagination?

    I haven’t noticed much, but I do have a lot of people blocked…

    The most important thing for me is that the amount of truly thoughtful comments I’ve seen is higher than on any other platform I use.

      And discourse is generally more respectful. Disagreements are handled in a constructive manner at a much higher rate than on any other platform I have used.

        Yeah, it’s nice to be able to have actually constructive discussions with people I don’t agree with. That’s rare on the internet.
