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.
It’s not karma, and I’ve always taken the stance that all publicity is good publicity. It’s just an observation that I believe reflects something much larger about the energy of the lemmy[dot]world fecalsystem.
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.
