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?

    I would guess that many people came here for that reason. On Reddit, keeping etiquette has become more important than contents. Having your post deleted because of noninclusive language or harsh tone, that’s not fun. Having to write “in my opinion” before any relevant sentence is also annoying. Of course, it is. It’s always opinions.

    Bunch of pansies with keyboards, as some would say.

    It might be partly that. And have you seen how neighbors talk to each other?

    I try to concentrate on the content, and I always keep in mind that the author might be in a hurry, is having a bad day or whatever. It’s rarely personal.
