I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.
it’s the same people, it’s gonna be the same site.
the voting system ensures your going to see what makes people most emotional, and the people you interact with are going to be the most emotionally moved.
I just hope Lemmy can drop the fake pretentious “rational, emotionless” facade
I get that, but I was tolerant to an extent of insults on Reddit. I’m done with that. If you can’t talk to me like you would if we were in the same room, I’m not going to talk to you. And most people don’t insult strangers when they’re in the same room with them because they’re not stupid enough to encourage a physical altercation that could result from it. But behind Internet anonymity, they get away with it. Fuck that, I’m not putting up with it. You insult me (not as a joke, obviously) and you get blocked.
Sounds like a pretty fair etiquette to me
