TBH for many years it's felt like most accounts (or at least the ones that bubbled up into my feed) were angry people venting about whatever. Like, the angrier they were, the more engagement they were hoping for. That was a surefire way for me to at least move on to someone else, or to just close the app. Don't need anyone harshing my mellow. The shouty people can go find a wall to yell at.

I barely get on these days. And I don't doubt that it's gotten worse.

I've been encountering a lot of angry people on Lemmy lately. I think people are just angry in general and the Internet is a great place to talk about it.
