Is it just me, or have the comments on Lemmy become extra aggressive over the past 3 months? (self.asklemmy)

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?

It's an election year and Trump is in the election.

A terrible and infuriating time. Brutal year ahead.
