A suspicion I’ve had is that any community that’s based around not being or liking something (like religion, or cars) will start exhibiting toxic behavior more quickly than ones that do not (humanism or urbanism, to mirror my previous examples). Since kbin and lemmy are at the moment unfortunately pretty defined by not liking Reddit, it’s becoming a one-uppance of who can push against the ‘normie’ Reddit and Thread users more than actually building a sustainable community. I’m not certain how to combat that, except to learn to ‘let go’?
