Has the Reddit exodus killed the former Lemmy culture?
Has the Reddit exodus killed the former Lemmy culture?
When I first started using Lemmy it seemed like such a nice place with interesting discussions. It seemed like the first group of people to join after the app exodus were being quite careful to be respectful of the existing culture.
Now, it seems as though the culture from Reddit has completely replaced it. Toxicity and all. I will say I do follow a lot of communities from a wide range of instances so it's clearly not everywhere.
Am I the only one who's feeling like we've just stormed in and bulldozed Lemmy?

This is such an "us vs them" mindset and it just doesn't work that way.
Reddit dominated internet culture for ~15 years. Reddit culture is just what internet culture is now. Any internet community that grows to a sufficient size will begin to exhibit the dominant internet culture.
Things aren't black and white.
Reddit used to be "nice". Then it became toxic. And now the toxic asshats are here and the moderators do nothing.
Feel free to report toxic behaviour. I do, and usually see toxicity removed and/or banned
Yup, moderators need to know!
