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?

sometimes, people need to be told they're stupid/shitty/etc. it just makes me feel better. i'm not trying to win a debate, i just don't want to hold my tongue because fuck you. with everyone so afraid of being cringe or big mad lol, there's no room left for healthy expressions of anger. anger is a human trait. anger is a useful tool. anger gets shit done. don't be afraid of your anger. tell someone they're stupid today. they might need to hear it.

You're conflating a natural phenomenon, anger, with maladaptive expressions of it. Name-calling is not owning your anger; it's disowning it

Let's be needlessly toxic 🚀🤩

In any case, welcome to my block list.

If more people were like you we wouldn't be a decaying society of sheep. It's OK to be enraged at injustice, it's moral to tell a nazi to kys.
