Before it was toxic positivity. The veneer has broken down now that people aren't trying their best to bring over reddit refugees, and the ugly underneath is visible.
I know this is a bit account (nothing against you btw I think the bit is great) but honestly this is 100% correct.
Lemmy was nice when it was just FOSS enthusiasts trying to build a better social media. Now new people have joined who are using it for its intended purpose, instead of just trying to roll a snowball.
All of those FOSS enthusiasts have the same horrible opinions and attitudes that everyone else does, once you get them talking about something actually important and contentious rather than their treats and toys.
Thank you for agreeing, but this isn't a bit account. It's an account where I'm a bit more honest than usual. I made it so I could be open about my gender on social media without being outed.
