I feel like things on Lemmy were pretty chill several months ago, and that’s started to change.

People used to talk each other like they would talk to a neighbor. Now I get the sense that people have become quick to be negative, attack, and not be constructive.

Am I crazy in feeling like the vibe has changed?

    Yeah, I feel the comments are getting worse as well, though from seeing the upvote numbers and less tankies/hexbears, I’m guessing some old folks are leaving and new people are joining. Guess it’s only natural.

      I blocked hexbear not because of their political beliefs, but because they would fucking ruin entire content sections by being super annoying.

      I’m also glad to see your comment not triggering the same brigading behavior I used to see a lot more often.

        Yeah. You can say one thing they agree with, but saying one thing wrong will trigger a deluge of negative comments of people participating in a group hate.
