As a long time Reddit user, there's something about Lemmy and the fediverse that feels really refreshing and new. I think it has to do with a few things......
I've seen a few, but they were mostly contained to more random offshoot instances, and those stirring up bullshit were booted pretty quick.
I think the inherent instance ownership gives admins a greater sense of pride to keep their localities positive, and a lot off us are still feeling from what reddit became in the last 5ish years and there's a communal sense of keeping that outta here.
And yes, at least for now. Hopefully those marketing ploys are readily apparent and get kicked to the curb quickly.
True, but there's also a lovely Venn diagram where a significant overlap exists. No one's perfect, but a certain mindset definitely leans more towards being a dick to people than not.
