Has anyone else noticed this, across the fediverse, Lemmy specifically. A lot of new users, but also a lot of first posts that are very inflammatory/rage baity.
Do we have another legit influx of new users? Or do we just have some bad actors trying to stir the pot? Or maybe I’m imagining it.
Yes have noticed more rage bait. Also more and more culture wars in comments. Still not anywhere near as bad as reddit.
Seems like the average user on here is smart enough not to get caught up in that bullshit thankfully. It’s a lot nicer than the pathetic chess match on reddit where everyone seems to take the rage bait like a carrot on a string
I wonder if it’s still early enough to give people taps on the shoulder - “don’t feed the trolls, friend”.
I don’t think it would hurt for real, it might snap someone out of it cos I would love lemmy not devolving into reddit
