I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

    Would you say the doom and gloom is Lemmy specific, or more of a global thing, given the state of life ATM?

      I’m only on Lemmy. Can’t speak for other places. On my day to day life, people are concerned with living their lives.

        Agree. The size of the community seems to correlate with the number of trolls, which can quickly change the tone of a platform. Trolls are more active, outspoken, and literally feed on negativity.

      Great point.

      “Doomers sure love doom scrolling”

      does nothing about the amount of doom in the world
