This is one of the more scathing pieces to come out on Ars about Reddit. As the site did not respond to inquiries, all that was available to report on was profoundly negative statements that Advance is unlikely to enjoy seeing.

I honestly just don't fucking care about them. This fediverse thing is the real deal, and it's been kind of peaceful over here avoiding all the toxic shit a regular user of reddit was subjected to. I'm sure it's on its way here shortly, but for now, enjoy the solitude.

I’ve run into a number of toxic asses on Lemmy, but I chalk it up to Reddit bleedover. I sincerely hope they all stay on the sinking Reddit ship, but inevitably the Fediverse will be inundated with them.

It's only a matter of time.

I've noticed a few more the past couple of months myself, but at some point the floodgates are going to open. And it's going to suck. But until then, I'm enjoying the fediverse experience. It's been a great break, reminds me of what reddit used to be like.

Completely agree. I miss Reddit from 2007.

Hopefully lemmy et al. will have mod tools before then

I just want to watch the place burn.

I feel the same way. 15 years of daily use.

Hell hath no fury like a fan scorned.

Come on, Pookie, let's burn this motherf*cker down!
