I came here around the time the rif app shut down, and the general vibe I get from this place is much more negative than when I joined. Is Lemmy growing more toxic or is it just my imagination?

    I have heard it several times, but it has also been debunked. I’d stay there if your only reasons are some vague rumours. I mean there are shitheads on any server.

      Thanks! I’m still a Lemmy account noob though I’ve been lurking for a year. Ex-Reddit - finally deleted my account there, it was time!

      Part of what took me so long to sign up for Lemmy was ADHD and trying to choose an instance to join! So in the end I picked a geek/coder/anarcho/punk/egalitarian seeming one.

      Hadn’t really thought about people blocking the whole instance. I mostly just like to help answer questions and engage in some online banter.

      Is this the point in my Lemmy life where I decide to create a second account on another instance just in case!? Probably, lol!

        Yeah, just hang around and get the feel for it all! It’s like old reddit but everyone can make a server.

        I remember they implemented migration tools for when you want to change server but I don’t know anything more about that.

        Cheers !
