I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.
Gettin’ hot in here. Remember Rule 1 people!
People who engage in debate in good faith are welcome. People who abuse and name call are not. Doesn’t matter what your political ideology is, BE NICE!
you are assuming that people are capable of good faith.
some simply are not.
That’d be a lack of sympathetic understanding. Kindly educate someone, peacefully correct them, relate to them and ask “how could they be so wrong?” Be genuine. Too often are people berated for a differing opinion over a matter of fact. It’s just a lack of awareness in nearly every case. People (usually) don’t want to be ignorant on purpose, they just are
OK, I’m going to lock this post. People obviously didn’t get the message from my previous comment.
While there is some bad, overall it had genuinely changed for the better. There’s a lot more diversity in the kind of people here and the kind of content posted. It used to be a lot more dominated by Tankie nonsense.
More rude people yes. But it was to be expected. On the plus side, more content also created by people who are not rude and immature. Most are not.
Got my first explicit scatological DM from someone with no fewer than three actual slurs (n-word included) in their username yesterday, from the lemmy.world instance (yes, my instance), so that was “fun”. I’ve also seen the same sort of posts, from the same sorts of users, elsewhere in comment sections. Fun times.
I know it’s kind of getting bad here for people who like don’t want to say slurs
