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 blame the Israel/Palestine conflict heating up again. It made it more apparent how much antisemitism was lurking below the surface. Ecer since it seems like there's a significant divide even on communities that aren't news and politics focused.

Yeah, that's definitely what the conflict brought to light. Not the fact that people and most nations are happy to allow or even support literal genocide and ethnic cleansing as long as it's done by people they like against people they don't like.

There were 153/193 votes calling for a ceasefire for a UN resolution. It's not most nations that are happy with it
