I've not spoken IRL for over a week now, I'm not sure what caused me to recess into this state.

I'm not really open to discussing because I don't know why. It's just frustrating me.

Has anyone else noticed that Lemmy, generally speaking, has gotten much more hostile with the recent influx of redditors? Users are attacking for no reason at all.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah hopefully the toxic ones will find Lemmy boring and go elsewhere.

Yeah, i hope so. They’re ruining Lemmy for me. :(
