I'm still here, three accounts deep now.

Yeah I was speaking generally, not specifically to the Fediverse. I don't really observe it as uniquely worse than Reddit at all.

I tried two reddit alternatives before I came to the Fediverse, and unfortunately there were amongst the intake - a lot of maladaptives.

Still here! Have never been banned, not so much as received a warning from anywhere. I’m sure there’s a silent majority of us who look at some the toxicity on here like 👀

yup, don’t need to be banned by reddit (although I’m sure I would have been by now), just have to have some goddamned principles.

I'm in that group, so there's at least 1 that stuck around

That was the first big wave, but lemmy was already somewhat active. Previously lemmy was used by the tankies. Hexbear also existed before the api migration, their sub was banned from reddit previously.

I used to have an account on raddle, a similar alternative, the 2 biggest sub there were about anarchism and shoplifting.
