Also older. The average Lemmy user is much older than the average reddit user. Which I would love if it stuck just to averages, but I don’t think we’ve got a very wide range here; we need some new blood/youthful energy if we want this to thrive and grow. But as it is now, I think Lemmy is a kind of a haven for FOSS old heads for a bit but doesn’t have a lot of fuel in the tank for the future, unless we see a bit of a cultural shift here.
Lemmy almost certainly needs a “cultural shift” it’s way to toxic. It’s probably more toxic than heroshima. one thing I’ve noticed myself is there’s way way to many tankies. And some members of the linux community aren’t so welcoming to people whom use other operating systems
Are there tankies? Yes, absolutely. That being said, is the term “tankie” being thrown around way too cavalierly and dismissively on Lemmy? Ab-so-fucking-lutely.
I thought reddit was into assigning labels to people dismissively, but holy shit it’s on another level here on Lemmy.
Just like how not everyone who disagreed with you on Reddit was a Nazi, not everyone who says something you dislike on Lemmy is a tankie
I see way to much stuff which fits in the “tankie” category.in my honest and earnest opinion I think these people are entitled to an opinion I also believe that these people are able to express that opinion but so are the hundreds of other communities that these people may not like I see some of these tankies not exclusively tankiesvictimising some of the Christian communities here on lemmy this is an example from a little research and speaking to some these people from these communities I’m sure there’s many more examples
Edit : this was on top page on ml not surprising considering its an ml domain but still
I agree there absolutely is toxcity here, particularly if you go against the majority and popular views. Lemmy users often claim and post about being so much better than reddit users when they’re the fucking same
Yup exactly I agree with this. I think people are entitled to an opinion and that includes tankies. But the way alot of “lemmings” go about discussing there views and opinions is worse than reddit in my opinion for an instance there’s alot of folk assholes in my opinion raiding Christian communities downvoiting them and commenting on them I’m not Christian myself but I personally see this as despicable behavior. Especially considering there people consider themselves to be the “tolerant” one’s

edit: small typo
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes
