    I’m getting downvoted in the /r/gis sub for agreeing with the mods that there should be an indefinite shutdown. It seems all that are left on the site are people simping for /u/spez. Some person even called me a “fucking idiot.” Glad to be off that toxic dumpster fire of a website.

      See, I really don’t need all those people to leave Reddit and appear over here.

      I’m fine if Reddit keeps being what Reddit has become over the years, and all the angry, toxic, trolling, shit posting people stay over there as well.

      I’m fine with a much smaller, much friendlier community.

        That’s fair. I just think the whole “fediverse thing” will keep the toxic normies away while the OG redditors from the olden days will be more likely to migrate. Old redditors seemed to be more technical minded, so I figure it’ll be self-filtering.

        I agree though, I don’t want that toxicity here. I’ve already experienced one such encounter on lemmy and was surprised.

        Edit: Should have read the context first. I thought you were responding to my editing all old reddit comments to point users to lemmy, lol. My point still stands regarding that.
