Is it just me, or have the comments on Lemmy become extra aggressive over the past 3 months? (lemmy.world)

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?

Online anyway, I've seen a lot more talk about issues from inside the US. Sure, you can say that more socialized healthcare, more safety nets, walkability etc. are European-inspired, but I can't say the same about environment, wages, tuition, gerrymandering, and especially racism. I don't agree with the idea that we were ever content with the status quo because it was inherently unfair for a lot of Americans in obvious ways.

Fair. There are a lot of American central issues, too.
