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 still think op was pulling a “just asking questions” racism. I responded how I felt that kind of question deserved to be treated.

I suppose you wanted to handle it yourself, but the proper way to treat that stuff is just to report it to the mods and move on.

Post is still up, friend. Or at least I assume it is because I got banned from that community and I can't see the post anymore. I didn't see that mod take anyone else out with me, either.

Ah yes, the "you can say the most vile shit you want, just remember to be polite about it" ideology
