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?

I might as well have support escalate it. Obviously the UX and UI teams aren't overworked enough.

If you go to settings > General > Default feed do you see home there?

If you visit your instance on a browser do you have a home option?

Maybe for some reason your instance itself doesn’t have a home.

Good luck sorting it out!

That's absolutely where it was at. Thanks friend! Now I have a more curated approach and can avoid the stuff that makes me have global warming, totalitarian regime panic attacks. Haha

Happy to help! Definitely much better for the mental health to avoid all the doom and gloom

Agree completely. I had a well curated feed on Reddit developed over years and years of careful pruning. I miss a ton of those communities and forgot what the open funnel of Internet sewage was like. Even just a few minutes on the front page of any social media network is enough to send me back to books and blogs. Lol
