In the past week and a half, I've noticed Reddit behaviors starting to try and poison all of the places that people are taking refuge in to get away from the toxicity, myself included. They've started to DDoS Lemmy for a while, which is a Reddit thing to do and what they're notorious of doing whenever they feel they don't like something.

And now they've been trickling in numbers, these incredibly toxic users that behave as they would on Reddit. The reckless shitposting, derailing open civil discussions with unfunny and irrelevant jokes. The downvote brigading and banding together to get you banned. This exact thing has happened to me on Lemmy, that I had to leave because the toxicity was gradually building.

We should reject Reddit toxicity in general, tell them they don't have a place here or anywhere. They know where they can dump their shit in, but they feel that because they've made mountains of it, that they've got to come over to other places and do it all over again.

I left Reddit because the toxicity levels have gotten unbearable. I really am yearning for a place where I can talk in and not be antagonized. I'm sure others are too.

If you keep trying to change human nature you’re going to be disappointed.

Complaining that other people do not live up to your standards is tiresome.

Easier to go where you are comfortable than to insist others change their behavior.

Who says I'm trying to change the entirety of human behavior?

What standards?

I've been hopping an awful lot from platform to platform at this point, trying to find this "comfort". You and other people have been encouraging this idea of isolation which isn't healthy on the human mind, just so you know, so you're coming off as blatantly unhelpful.

Changing people's behaviors isn't my goal, infact, I am having difficulty finding this invented problem you've made about changing people's behaviors. When, all I've said up and down, that I've noted of said behaviors and that I advocate we should not welcome it. Where are you getting this concept, besides inventing it, that it is about changing behavior? You can't change an asshole's behavior, they're going to be assholes regardless. All I'm saying is to reject it and make them unwelcome because they have no place in ecosystems where we're all trying to collectively be contributing and civil whereas, they're not.

Your whole post is complaining that people on Reddit are being jerks on Lemmy and telling everyone else what to do about it.

Go where the jerks aren't.

They actually seem to have moved off lemmy and onto kbin (where we are right now)

Uh, no.

Why should I have to be hopping because people decide, mind you, to be intolerant? It's a you problem, not a me problem, as hard as a fight as you're trying to win in making me believe otherwise. You're spinning so hard.

Ah the old “everyone’s wrong except me”.

Good luck with that.
