Its like saying “these comments are something else”. In and of itself its a neutral statement that can be taken as a sarcastic negative or a positive. Usually leaning positive, but without hearing it with spoken inflection all you can do is guess
I like how Internet culture and slang now belongs to multiple generations, because I remember when age was far more linguistically encoded online and it was less interesting than what I see more of now, where in most anonymous social contexts the only indicator of anyone’s age is their perspective on life. Still, there’s the occasional freebie. In this comment chain for example I would have guessed the ages ranged from 26 to 42 until someone felt unfairly dated by the beach boys lol. Age is just a number. I’m glad you’re here.
What’s “a vibe”? Help grandpa out.
It’s something like the emotional atmosphere or something’s aura.
So a “vibe check” is evaluating how something makes you feel. If it makes you feel good, it passes.
In this scenario is op agreeing with the comments (they feel good) or disagreeing with them?

I would say that, unless it’s specifically stated that the vibe is bad, “a vibe” and “vibing” are terms with positive connotations.
So saying “the comments are a vibe” is like saying “I like how these comments make me feel”.
It’s like in the Beach Boys song “Good Vibrations”.
That’s great grandpa age. I’m taking about someone in middle age.
Bro, listen to Good Vibrations, it’s an awesome song.
Then listen to Pet Sounds in the dark with headphones, it’ll change your life.
