    That hints me that what people here is calling “toxic” is politics-related, since I’m a lemmy.ml user and I certainly would not say that my experience here is overall “toxic”.

    And, funnily enough, most of the issues that I had were with users from either lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works; sometimes lemm.ee.

      A lot of it politics related in that someone posts something even slightly critical of communism and a ton of people dogpile on them.

      There may be toxic 1v1 conversations, but I generally see dogpiling only from one side.

        Got it - mostly politics, then. That explains a lot why you guys are seeing far more toxicity than I do, I don’t generally join political discussions. (And when I do, since I’m myself communist, perhaps I don’t even notice it.)

          Yeah. If you don’t participate in the discussions and you aren’t likely to get targeted if you do, you probably won’t see it.
