Is it just me, or have the comments on Lemmy become extra aggressive over the past 3 months? (lemmy.world)

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 was busy and couldn’t make it to the comment section in time, you two comment sniping chodes deserve to be interrupted by someone knocking on the door then lingering until you finish when you’re taking a poop

Jesus Christ, the stereotype of American gun owners waiting for any excuse they can get to lynch someone really is accurate.

...sadly, yes.

Weep for rational US citizens.
