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?

You can see them jumping from Lemmy server to Lemmy server as they get banned from each.

Eventually, they'll just set up their own instances so they can bother people with impunity.

And then we block that instance! Or it gets defederated.

It would be super nice if users could block instances.

Like, I have no desire to see anything from the furry instance.

It became a thing in Lemmy 0.19 - as long as you're on an instance that has updated to that, it should be available to you. At the bottom of the settings page in the web ui, but if you use an app they might not expose that to you yet.

I think that came with version 0.19.1 specifically.

I hadn't realized it had been implemented yet since I don't use the browser. Thanks for the update!
