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?
Holy cow I thought I was the only one running into rude people.
I’m dealing with that right now, and also what I noticed is the abundance of downvotes on facts, but upvotes on feelings.
I disabled votes on my clients. I don’t want a number to potentially sway my opinion on a comment or post
I wonder if that’s why Youtube did it also, for downvotes at least
