@lemmy.worldMy experience on this platform has been mixed so far but one thing I've noticed the most is a significant contingent of the user base is really reactionary in their discourse.
This is a very typical exchange I have here :
User: I don't like this color because it's red.
Me: I don't know, looks more like purple to me. What about red is bad?
User: Why don't you fuck yourself in the face you fucking cuntfuck!
Me: OK...
Like, what gives? I don't have this experience on other platforms. I have arguments but never this shutdown meccanism.
I don't know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I'm on lemmy.world as my instance.

Officials and residents of a town southeast of Yemen's capital say nine members of one family were killed when Iranian-backed Houthi rebels blew up a house.
At least on Reddit there was some leveling of downvotes built into the algorithm. This site is making it seem like any slight disagreement leads to downvotes thus encouraging more echo chambers. Maybe it's the communities I'm commenting on?
