I'm ready to step away from Reddit. I know you can encounter toxic behavior on other platforms too, but I'm just exhausted by the level of negativity there. So, I have two questions for those who have fully transitioned — What prompted your decision to leave? And were you able to get others to join you on Lemmy?

I'm not going to try prying people I know from their comfort zone. If they want to be on Facebook, fine, be on Facebook. If they want to stay on Shitter, stay on Shitter. If they want to be on Reddit .etc .etc

The reason I left reddit, multiple times, was because of the inexcusable amount of toxicity. It got so bad, that I couldn't complain about my work anymore on a subreddit meant for people who complain about their work. Nothing is done about trolls, they'll happily stalk you, you block one bastard, another makes an alt in seconds to resume.

And spez continues sitting there with his stupid braindead grin on his face, doing fuck all to just do ONE simple thing to prevent it - retool the registration. See, Lemmy trolls can't get away with treating the registration as if it was a machine gun for alts, least not as readily as Reddit's. You have to wait to be approved, you have to make expendable e-mails and there's a bit of time at play here.
