Lemmy is FAR more toxic than Reddit.

Maybe, but you have better tools to deal with it. Filter out words most politics and your experience will improve a lot. For me, it isn't a 100% filter because I still want to be exposed to that, but I want less of it. Tag anyone that looks like they're operating in bad faith. If you see the tag again and they're still shitty, just block them. Block whole communities if you want or even entire instances. You're in control of what you see here.

My Lemmy experience has been perfectly cromulent since I started blocking and filtering.

I use tags often, but I don't block, I use it to track accounts spreading disinformation.

You can do that on Reddit too. Obviously not at a federation level, but you can block subreddits and users. It doesn't stop the fact that even across many instances Lemmy is far more toxic - whether you're discussing Tech, Gaming, Politics, Sports, etc.
