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?

Especially the grammar Nazis that floated here on a turd from the reddit cesspool.

A couple days ago someone was trying to debatebro me I told them to eff off and that I wasn't going to humor their bad-faith ass.

Was expecting to get hate for it but instead woke up to 20 votes on the comment. It's awesome.

Not just the comments. It used to be page 4 or 5 where the hate/rage content would start appearing in the top posts. But it's been creeping up, and now even page 1 looks pretty bad sometimes. I bet even Americans are starting to feel alienated if they're not perpetually angry.

Yeah I've given this place an honest try but people are so quick to downvote, it's not exactly encouraging me to actively post here

Also I notice the same 10 assholes in every thread

every time I see a full page meme in the middle of a comments thread I want to punch a hole right through its face
