A little maybe, but not much.
I’ve seen people say they left reddit to join Lemmy because of the toxic users. To each their own, but I personally think Lemmings aren’t much better. Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent. People are way too defensive about their opinions.
It is disappointing, but it’s the better option.
The bots are showing up heavy in the last few days. It annoys me greatly since it dilutes the quality posts in my feed that generate discussion. It’s a bunch of shitty memes and cartoons and it’s awful.
Good thing we can just block it and get our feed back.
Yeah I have noticed a ton of posting here that reads like it’s an edgelording 12 year old, that is either really stupid and then attacks anyone who replies to their stupid post with facts and reasonable replies. Often with a extremist/insane take or a really inane and stupid one.
That wasn’t happening in '25 that I really noticed.

I had to block a bunch of meme communities when I first joined to make lemmy usable for me.
No offence to anyone who enjoys memes or the below, just I prefer lemmy with less lols
HTH
Blocked Communities
I guess I’ll save this post so I can go through the list and block the Ines I don’t want. Looks like I got a few.
