A little maybe, but not much.
I’ve seen people say they left reddit to join Lemmy because of the toxic users. To each their own, but I personally think Lemmings aren’t much better. Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent. People are way too defensive about their opinions.
It is disappointing, but it’s the better option.
Lemmy was never going to be a better community than reddit, because it’s still redditors leaving reddit to come here. People were the problem with reddit, people are the problem with Lemmy.
That was always a given.
Stop. It could have been. But it isn’t. Your phrasing it as “it was never going to be” is lazy. It could have definitely been better.
Instead lemmy seems to want to be the parts of reddit where everything is highlight moderated. Every topic is put into a tight box that sucks the oxygen out quickly. Something about beans and moths
