    I don’t feel anything browsing on Lemmy. People post things that are just factually not true, the tribalism is the worst I’ve seen anywhere, and most things in any topic of discussion are posted in bad faith. If you actually get angry at anything, you’re gonna have a bad time. Unfortunately, I do tend to respond in kind when people do that so I’ve called more people “stupid” or “idiot” on here than I care to admit. It doesn’t help that moderation is entirely one-sided and inconsistent. That might be a side-effect of federation, though, since smaller instances with few mods can get overrun by larger instances with orders of magnitude more people.

    I hope it evens out eventually but it’s hard to see that when the only answer to mitigate the toxicity is blocking people.
