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?

    More exposure in news and media. More asylum seekers from reddit. I haven’t noticed too much change within the communities I’m subscribed to, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s been some change across all of Lemmy. It is a super niche platform that is getting more attention and drawing more general users.

    If someone were doing a school project with large dataset analysis and modeling, it would be cool to compare quantitatively the amount of positive vs negative comments a year ago compared to now.
