My friend's on reddit a lot, uses it for support questions and reviews mostly, but got fed up with the bullshit toxicity there.

A few days ago I suggested she check out Lemmy, there's less content, but generally fewer toxic communities and we scrolled a bit.

She checked it out, didn't understand a meme on WomensStuff, had me ask them about it, and was so put off by their responses that was the end of lemmy for her.

What does "the wrong side of lemmy" consist of?

    Just the same crap you see on Reddit, personal attacks, intolerance, mods not following the rules.

    I'm gonna need way more context. I haven't used the womensstuff community because it's not a space for me. Who was being intolerant of what? Secondarily, what's the "good side" you were hoping to show off?

    Someone above has linked some deleted comments, I don't know if the post is up or not.

    context: I asked what a meme meant, people cursed at me, attacked me, called me "daddy" (that part was surprising), and none of the members were banned for breaking the rules.

    I don't know if you ever used Reddit, but you will find that sort of behavior all over there.

    Tell me about the meme and your question.
