No. At least not in ways I want. I mostly purged the mainstream meme subs from my reddit experience and stuck to my nitche interests, but I haven't really found active replacements for those yet.

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

MODERATORS
I've interacted more hopefully. There are less truly bad faith actors here I think.
Sometimes, but usually about the same rate for me.
Same amount as I was on Reddit, far less than any other social media though.
Far less than Reddit.
Me too, people are more forgiving and give the benefit of the doubt more oftenthabn not. I appreciate that
I try not to. This place bans you for "not being nice", which is an arbitrary metric that changes from mod to mod and let's all be honest, being nice is exhausting. Ask anyone working in retail.
The comments here are correct though. As long as you focus on your niche and it's relatively active, then stay away from propaganda media, Lemmy can be an useful place. The default All is worthless in anything but lurking and you need to find the communities about your interests or make them yourself if they don't exist here yet.
Edit: That was close! I almost commented on some dumb take in a doubly dangerous post that involved both current wars. That's a definite no-no. Just don't get involved, it's not worth the trouble.
