I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.

    There is !casualconversation@lemm.ee for positive or at least neutral conversation.

    If you see too much negativity here, you are probably hanging out in toxic communities.

    I saw your last post about Kaspersky on the Piracy community, sorry to see the comments you got.

    Each community has its own vibe and moderation policy. A few of them are quite toxic, a few are very nice, the rest is in between.

      I took a look out of curiosity and most comments are just saying don’t use kaspersky and their reasoning. If he was personally attacked it was way down and I missed it. All the stuff I saw was a bit incredulous perhaps but hardly vicious or anything.

      If you’re going to a technical community and propose a technical solution that a lot of people disagree with, that’s just what’s going to happen. People aren’t going to just sit there and not say something.

          1 comment among over 100 comments calling folks “morons” on a technically-minded corner of the internet over what they saw as bad advice is enough to indict the entirety of lemmy as “inherently negative and toxic”?
