    Honestly, I’ve found this place to be a lot more toxic than Reddit, especially when it comes to tech.

      I came across a highly upvoted comment on Lemmy saying that they wished someone would engineer a virus to fucking murder everyone with right-wing fundamentalist views. Now, I don’t like right-wingers and think they need to fuck off, but calling for the presumably extremely slow and painful (as viruses tend to be) deaths of so many millions of people is pretty fucked up and I got heavily downvoted for pointing that out.

      Yeah, this place is even more toxic than Reddit. There was a period when it was new that it seemed like everyone was a lot nicer and more positive, but that has ended.

      Absolutely. I just recently got roasted for posting a guide to updating the BIOS on certain laptops in the Linux forums.

      Was expecting a small number of comments, maybe a couple of questions or “thanks”; nope.
