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 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.

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] exocrinous@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I was.
