I notice this especially with my Norwegian learning. People are rude, call me names, or make fun of me on Reddit for using the wrong word or “en” vs “et” or using a direct translation because I don’t know how they say it in Norwegian, like saying somethng like «Ingen av bedriften din!» instead of «Dette er ikke din sak» (according to the casual version of Bing Translate) whereas a Norwegian-speaking Fediverse member would just say something like “You’re doing good, but it’s actually _____.”

    Also, on Reddit I never had anyone follow me around trying to cause reputational damage by spreading false accusations about me.

    I’ve experienced it on both, but it was much more toxic and persistent on reddit in my experience
