Is it just me, or have the comments on Lemmy become extra aggressive over the past 3 months?

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?

Lemmy is a left leaning echo chamber loaded with hateful and violent speech toward Trump and the GOP in general. Whenever I bring this up, I get downvoted to oblivion. I hardly engage anymore, not like I used to. Too much crazy.

Essentially this place is Palestine-Ukraine-Biden-centric, and that is long known.

Saying anything on the opposite, even marking the shortcomings of above governments and military will immediately get you downvoted, regardless of your actual stance.

This is a problem we have for a while.

One potential solution? Keep voicing it up, screw everyone who downvotes. If they want to bring arguments, they’ll have to do it in text. Down arrow means nothing by itself.
