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.
This is just an observation and my opinion. My point is that this the past 10 years we’ve commercialized digital spaces for selling off to marketers and advertisers that it is now ingrained in how we create new spaces. Regardless if it is consciously or unconsciously. Lemmy is still new, but the behavior and rules and actions were recreated here.
The goal is to box everything. Everything in its box. Tightly controlled and and categorized. This way the space is ready to be sold. It sucks the air out of places. It leaves no room to build momentum or originality. But there’s very safe.
