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’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

        Yeah but it’s usually because it’s the same people having a go at me every time

          You should consider blocking them. Especially if they’re consistently bugging you

          After a quick scroll through your history, I see why those people are on your ass. 😂

              I took a look at your comments purely because his reply made me curious. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your comments. The only downvoted comment of yours I saw was that Trudeau has the worst approval rating ever, which is a matter of record, not opinion.

              It’s not on you, you’re fine. I’ve had a similar experience here, people just don’t seem to be able to take disagreement as anything less than personal

                right? i say the most general things and people act like I’m a personal friend who knows them inside and out, offering vicious criticism of some crucial personality trait.

                Like, why the fuck are you acting like I know you? How could I possibly? Monkeyass motherfuckers having a hard time with teh whole interwebs thing
