This thread just opened my eyes. I really thought Lemmy being so young would mean the average users would be pretty saavy and intelligent. Nope, same idiots as Reddit and everywhere else.
You’re free to have your own opinions. But please note that your tone is not helpful and you may be just doing what exactly you’re speaking against. Let’s keep the discussions civil and healthy instead of labelling people.
Why would you even assume that? It’s all just random people. If you have nothing constructive to say, you can fuck off and start your own intelligent community and stop being a toxic shitstain.
Like anywhere on the internet, it really comes down to doing your best to exude the kind of energy you want to receive back (and moderation/filtering). There are all types of people around and the key is to just do your best to stay positive. Moderation tools are also more primitive on Lemmy, so, as traffic grows, users will have a larger role to play in reporting and manually curating their feeds via blocking.
If it ever feels like too much, I also recommend taking a break from social media. You may also want to consider other instances like beehaw.org, which goes to great lengths to maintain its particular atmosphere.
I’m reading this from beehaw, I believe we’re federated with lemmy.ml. But I don’t think we want him if he’s just gonna insult people without even articulating what’s bothering him.

Cool cool what’s the right answer then?
