I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.

    If what you are describing is the case, then why none of the alternatives have the same level of negativity?

      What alternatives are you using? I’ve only tried Lemmy after Reddit. I don’t find it overly negative here either btw, but I’m interested to compare.

      Maybe the existing user base? (before the reddit exodus.) It was hardcore left, and now that their echo chamber is being opened and challenged they don’t like the new discussions. And being so used to the old ways they think they can continue bashing progressive as not progressive enough.
