People breed toxicity, especially if you disagree with them. The more people a site has, the shittier it is. People suck.
Your opinion makes me angry 😡
Fuck you. Imma tear down your fucking walls, Gorbachof.
I'm gonna fuck down your tearing walls gorbachof.
Got ‘em!
Screw you asshole. More people make a site better!
Go buy a vowel ya fuckin prick.
I don’t think our points are mutually exclusive. Small sites can be shitty while the trend remains that sites get shittier as they get bigger.
You think Lemmy is more toxic than reddit? I've seen the opposite so far. I wonder if this boils down to what communities we are a part of? It makes sense though, since most of lemmy is likely 30+ yrs old and have become jaded by reddit already.
Also, yes, voat was awful. It was mostly alt right assholes from what I remember.
