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?

Definitely has gotten worse. I even resorted to blocking users who do nothing but antagonize others

Lol that is 100% the intended functionality of blocking

I mean awhile ago it was just normal arguments but it's ramped up to the point now where people are being racist, transphobic or saying they're gonna find them irl and gun them down which is something I don't want to see.
