Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s just the overall impression I have.

(I wasn’t sure if !asklemmy@lemmy.world or this community would fit better for this kind of question, but I assume it fits here.)

    I’ve received way more bitter and raged out responses here than I’ve ever received on Reddit for very lukewarm vanilla takes. I’m not saying Lemmy is full of extremists but there is a user base here that is all or nothing. My guess is it’s age related though.

      Overall the people here are nicer.

      The extremes are higher though - some people were booted from Reddit for a reason, and they came here.

        Yea. I agree. There is a nice median and really strong extremes. But those extremes sometimes hog up the convo.
