No one yells at me to read the friendly manual like the arch forums. The only yelling I see is political stuff. I don't see the console flame wars. Comments don't look like youtube of the 2010s and before. Its not 4chan. It doesn't have much of the smuggery of hacker news. I can block the chapo trap house people. Fediverse and activitypub actually works and we have some admins who seem to care about informing others of bad actors either as individuals to entire instances.

Lemmy seems good to me!

    What do you mean by Chapo trap house people? I don't think I've encountered that

    r/ChapTrapHouse was the left wing equivalent of r/The_Donald, constantly brigading and trolling other subs. And just like r/T_D, their sub got banned and they kept trying to remake the community only to be banned again and again.

    IIRC, the r/ChapoTrapHouse folks eventually started up Hexbear on here, while r/The_Donald moved to ExplodingHeads. Both instances are often defederated by other instances, so you probably don't see them a lot
