I hear you. People have very little pain/change tolerance. Humans want things easy the first time. Those who stick around the fediverse have higher pain tolerance. They are more cognitively flexible. They are principled. There's a short time of adjustment that one has to tolerate.

Reddit used to be a great platform to discuss some topic and get different points of few in a friendly but factual manner. However, slowly it seems like the platform has become a lot more like Facebook, where it's been invaded by toxic people that are constantly looking for opportunities to shit and hate on others....
These burgeoning communities are rough around the edges. But as @dan96kid said, there's space for us to speak up, rather than simply lurk. I'm getting a kick out of this disruption.
I'm 32, I remember using the internet before google was a thing, discovering flashy websites, hanging out on all kinds of internet forums and chatrooms, ebaums world, MySpace, new grounds... I rember when YouTube was just starting off and it was exploding with all kinds of content....
Good conversations on kbin, Lemmy, Squabbles, et al. I think there's a new feeling of solidarity and ownership with these new (to some of us) forums. I'm here for it.

I don't actually think that, but wanted to be the first to complain about it.
The only solution in an abusive relationship is to leave.
There's no point in arguing. No point in fighting. Just walk out the door and never look back.
[rant] Why is this so hard for people?
Can I just rant a little to you all?...
Why are conversations on Reddit often so hostile and toxic now days?

Looking for a Reddit alternative? Lemmy tell you, they currently kinda suck (www.androidauthority.com)
Yeah, this describes my experience so far. I really want to like it here, but so far it's been an effort....
The internet is great again, thanks to all of you 🙂
