I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

    A post I made in an unrelated thread was linked and mentioned in the “dunktank” community on hexbear telling the users there’s to come “dunk” on me, followed by personal insults and in one case a guillotine threat.

      Link, please. I’m open minded but I’d like to see some evidence so I can make up my own mind on this.

        I deleted that account and moved here, I just explained that. All of by posts are gone.

        Sorry you dont trust me.

        Although, as I said none of that is even relevant to this topic

          As I said, I’ve seen a LOT of Lemmy folk claim toxicity and zero examples. The ones that provided examples was weak AF. When it goes past individual cases to a narrative with little backing up, I kind of need to see something substantial to believe it. We all know believing stuff we read online from internet strangers never goes well. We are knee deep in comments here, and comments on any thread tend to deviate. It’s kind of the whole charm of things like reddit and Lemmy.

              I mean it’s pretty obvious I have used my account consistently for months.

              You do realise you can support the concept of discussing with people that you disagree with. Echo chambers aren’t healthy, or normal, unless you’re very young and the internet has always been that way for you.
