From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I originally thought was that Lemmy would be worse because it's more niche. But I post FOSS stuff on here and Reddit and in general the responses here are more positive. Though there was a decent bit of hate towards Mozilla and GIMP when I posted news about them (new Mozilla logo, GIMP 3 string freeze).
There's much more hate towards many social groups here.
I recently visited reddit after not being on since the exodus, reddit has gotten so much worse, you are really just wrong about this
I visited it a few times recently and there was less toxicity than on Lemmy. I didn't check technological and political subreddits though.
I saw nothing but toxicity, I feel like all the decent people left after the exodus, although it was politics that I saw primarily
Well yea politics may be more toxic on Reddit but overall I'd say Lemmy is worse in terms of that.
