Not pixar

Imgur and Tumblr too

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?

That’s the same problem as people recommending Linux when Windows acts up. Just let people use whatever OS they want.

Oh I hate communities that use Telegram. I mean, sure, I guess there’s better privacy, but Telegram was just not built for that. Messages always get lost, and there are no channels, which means no info channel, so they have to try and cram everything into the description.

Don’t know how to post the boomerang, but passed everything else (I think) as a 20 year old gen z

Does anyone remember that club penguin tower defence game where you defend against computer viruses?
