I became so exhausted from the toxicity on Lemmy that I began searching for alternatives, and I stopped trying to argue in the comments. This leads me to wonder: am I the only one who is feeling this way?

    I’m an Admin for a Lemmy instance, so see a lot if reports related to users’ comments and, from my perspective, it seems like the vast majority of people on Lemmy are having reasonably respectful discussions.

    However, your personal experience may vary depending on where you post and what you post.

      Really? Because most of the antisemitic terrorist supporters I see are coming from lemmy instances. News topics are absolutely flooded with them. This is the big issue with fediverse.

        I guess it depends on what they are saying exactly.

        Calling out Israel for committing genocide is not antisemitic. But a lot of people seem to make that connection.

        Israel’s treatment of the people of Gaza has always been awful as well.

        But I think most people agree Hamas slaughtering civilians is just as bad.

        antisemitic terrorist supporters

        Israel supporters?

        Jk. I know what you mean, but I genuinely would argue that. Calling not supporting nationalism and an ethnostate antisemitic is the actual antisemitism. Oh and terrorism is only terrorism when brown people do it, so can’t argue with that part. /s

        That aside… Your problem is there isn’t enough bots and propaganda on here compared to say reddit. I’d say that’s a good thing. Go back there if all you want is to circlejerk.

          I’m calling people cheering Hamas and flat out denying what they’ve done supporting terrorists. But thank you for illustrating my point so clearly.

            Nah, there are people who want to defend the Israeli baby killers, and maybe people that want to defend Hummus.

            I have yet to see one of these posts but I do see a ton of “Yay Israel, kill all the Palestinians, Israel is doing nothing wrong.” people post about these posts that I never see like they are every third post.

            Fuck Israel, fuck hummus, and may every single person who killed a child stand for the gallows and then dance for us.

        As I say, it depends on where you are as Lemmy is a big place. I can only speak from personal experience.
