    Oh I agree. Maybe not toxic per se, but extremely out of touch. I think what happened is it just became a bigger echo chamber, because from the already echo chamber reddit, all the people who are the type to switch to the fediverse (privacy focused, foss lovers) are on lemmy, with their opinions being spouted back at them, so it feels like everyone agrees, when really they’re a minority.

    The biggest differing opinion between reddit and lemmy that I see is lemmy’s insistence that absolutely everyone should switch to linux. Of course I saw that on reddit a bit too, but it always had some pushback.

    And of course there’s also the ignorance of the fediverse’s problems. Like people just can’t comprehend why someone wouldn’t switch to Mastodon or Lemmy.

    This doesn’t apply to all topics though. There is still some good discussion here. Sometimes it can be better than reddit.

    What’s weird is I don’t experience this on hacker news. People seem to be a lot less out of touch, and have a wider variety of opinions. Not entirely sure why, maybe because it’s had time to mature?









  • I use Linux as my daily driver, yet I 100% believe Linux is overrated. It’s great if you’re willing to put in the work to get it working well, or maybe if you have someone else to do all your tech support for you, but it’s just not a good option for the majority of people.

    I hate when people keep trying to push it on Windows users, especially when they go on about how “easy” it is. It’s not. And doing that will get people to try it out with high expectations and then get disappointed when they try it out and that’s not the case.
