It was definitely true in my experience- the general feeling was that it’s very hard to prove any general rules in psychology, because there are so many factors. You want to be able to say “people are ___” but people are just way too complex.
All I remember from my psychology classes is that for every study that shows some phenomenon, there’s another study that shows the opposite. That’s why I switched to math.
edit: well I guess the main reason was to help find a job…
pruwyben@discuss.tchncs.deto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The name "seagull" implies the existence of landgulls, airgulls, and firegulls.13·2 days agoReminds me of a John Hodgman bit - we have ice hockey, field hockey, and air hockey, implying the existence of fire hockey.

I wasn’t affected by this directly, but from what I saw it was all handled extremely well - lots of notice so users could choose new instances and mods could coordinate moving communities elsewhere. Makes me optimistic for the fediverse.

I’m not familiar with Quora or other specific alternatives - when I said Lemmy is the biggest alternative, that’s just based on what I’ve heard elsewhere, such as the “Reddit Alternatives” subreddit.
I can’t say I’ve experienced anything as bad as that kind of harassment - sorry to hear that. One thing you could consider is making a new account on beehaw.org - it’s Lemmy as well but with the goal of a safe, friendly environment, and they do a lot of deferating and moderation to keep it that way. So it would be a “smaller” Lemmy experience, but maybe a more pleasant one.

As far as I know, Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin is the biggest alternative to Reddit, so if it’s too small for you, there may not be a good alternative.
If you do want to stick it out, I’d recommend being liberal with blocking users you don’t want to see. I think there are a lot of good people here.
