I’ve noticed since being silenced from the lemmy[dot]world ecosystem, my sincere interest posts no longer receive all the random, bullshit, drive by downvotes they used to.
It’s been rather and unexpectedly peaceful, and I feel also says a lot about the toxicity LW has potentially brought to the platform.
I noticed the same when I blocked .ml. I think it’s Lemmy in general as I don’t think we as a community are really that nice. I see more overt proud racism in a week on Lemmy than I would see in months on Reddit.
