    most of the toxicity I’ve experienced on lemmy has been from established users so idk… but I should add that it’s way less toxic than reddit so far

      It’s gotten pretty bad on the politics front lately. It’s like an entirely different community now compared to last year

      Overall it’s less toxic than Reddit, as evidenced by how many people were lurkers there but here actually feel comfortable enough to open up and contribute.

      I note that you are on Lemmy.World, which blocks some of the most well-known trolling instances. That indeeds helps a ton, though means that the experiences of someone who joined e.g. lemm.ee instead are going to be quite different.

        Blocking is key. Once I started blocking some communities, my Lemmy experience got a lot better.

      Well, most users here are former/current Reddit users, but somehow a lot of them think that it’s less toxic here.
