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?

Now you've made an enemy for life, buddy.

The enemy of my enemy... also enemy.

I thought I was being targeted by trolls, so I wasn't the only one

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

Oh dear day three and this thread is still going and doubling in size.

I've noticed the comments becoming more and more hostile and a lot more argument than discussion recently.

It comes in waves. I don’t like the overly sensitive crap either though.
