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?

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.
