    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?

        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 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”.
