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?

Reddit exodus effects. Reddit did not have the best kind of people on the internet. It just has had a bit more tamed 4channers.

Also, it is way too clear how there is political animosity that practically threatens real lives of non-white people, or ruins their job/career lives, in the current situation that went from Ukraine side picking to Israel apartheid support vs opposition. All this as we came from COVID pandemic, horrific mental health and fucked up socialising abilities.

Lemmy is one of those places where you're expected to be kind, but not necessarily expected to apply that to neo-nazis like on Reddit.

No, I've definitely had people on Lemmy upset that I was unkind to fascists.

Sure fine, but you weren't banned for it.
