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?

Yeah but it's usually because it's the same people having a go at me every time

After a quick scroll through your history, I see why those people are on your ass. 😂

I took a look at your comments purely because his reply made me curious. I don't think there's anything wrong with your comments. The only downvoted comment of yours I saw was that Trudeau has the worst approval rating ever, which is a matter of record, not opinion.

It's not on you, you're fine. I've had a similar experience here, people just don't seem to be able to take disagreement as anything less than personal

right? i say the most general things and people act like I'm a personal friend who knows them inside and out, offering vicious criticism of some crucial personality trait.

Like, why the fuck are you acting like I know you? How could I possibly? Monkeyass motherfuckers having a hard time with teh whole interwebs thing
