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.

And thanks to federation, if you ever do find yourself in a dumb instance like hexbear or feddit (lol), you can just swap to a new instance with no problem, and often users will naturally follow to the better instances where you don’t have content censorship .

people cry about .ml users but have no idea about hexbear lol

Most instances don’t block other instances of note though. The biggest decision you’ll have to make here realistically is “Do I want to access hexbear and/or lemmygrad” and that’s it. And Dbzer0 in their current block of feddit.org.

.ML is one of the worst instance in the fediverse, brother. Also stay away from Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and HilariousChaos.

When I first came to the fediverse I took up residence on .world because I didn’t know any better. Went from world to beehaw because I didn’t know about hexbear. After seeing people dunk on hexbear I decided to check it out and hey! Wouldn’t you know i found one of the last decent places on the internet.

If it wasn’t for dumbass worlders talkin shit I wouldn’t have found HB.

This is literally how our old subreddit became the most active on the entire website before we were banned haha, people constantly bringing it up out of context.

First time I logged onto Lemmy I came across two goons complaining about the 'Tankie Triad'. Went and checked it out, no you guys are great

When a bunch of genocide supporters tell me not to go to a place, I start checking out that place

I've had nothing but good interactions with hb people, and the instance is in my "backup instances" list for when ~~ffmhy~~ ~~vlemmy~~ ~~lemm.ee~~ db0 dies. Honestly I don't see why people complain about them. Heck, even lemmy.ml people are cool, if anything 2026 has proven we need more of them, I have to guess the slander is mostly a pro-corporate / reddit psyop. It's only mostly lemmygrads who are the issue.
