Yea, lemmy is quite mean. I simply unsubscribed to the world news and politics communities. Now, my feed is just filled with cute posts like urs'. Whenever I want to see the talked about news story of the day, I just head on to "All" under "Active".

OH ALSO! Try to block the tankie communities/servers. They're the worst in this regard.

This is why is joined blahaj.zone, people are nice.

Mean people are everywhere, and the separation of internet communication makes it easy to be cruel. Wave them off and and celebrate the folks who treat others well.

I am not now nor have I ever been mean and I will fight anyone who says otherwise!!!

(ง ͠ಥ_ಥ)ง

Have you tried being gay? Much nicer to that here

If you have and it doesn’t work then try not being gay

One of those is bound to work

You come to the internet to relax, you dumb dumb. We come here to scream at eachother for no reason.

We're building character, you'll need to be hardened for the upcoming battles.

Much love, Signed Banjo the Savage.

lol I fled here from 9gag. Either y'all are extremely nice, or I have been suffering from Stockholm syndrome for the last decade. :')

Probably both

Aw im sorry the other kids were being mean. Heres a cuppa tea to make it better 🫖🍵

No, don't you understand that you are an imperialist and you should feel bad about it?

I try my best to not be mean even when i strongly disagree with someone. Unless they are genuinely fascist, then it is what it is

We're only mean to people who don't touch themselves. 😇

You are loved and valid. Lemmed and Lemmid.

I only see meanness in political posts, and some instances like hexbear (the_dunk_tank can get pretty toxic)

I have two lemmy apps, one that I have set up to block locally, and one with none of those blocks in place. You should try keyword filtering and instance blocking. You should add election, trump, biden, elon, musk, vote, war as your blocks (its what I use)

When I feel argumentative or simply don’t want to have posts hidden I go on the app with no instance blocks or keyword filters

When I want good news I use the one with my filters

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID, JERRY.

Because lemm.ee doesn't allow direct uploading, I have to upload all my memes through Imgur.

JFC Imgur is the 2nd meanest social media community after pre-2017 yik yak. Good Lord that place was like a high school theater department.
