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?
Vibe has changed but it’s because of more users. The original users picked Lemmy because they were tired of reddit, so they were naturally nice people that didn’t vibe with the shit that was going on at reddit. They wanted something else. We wanted something else.
That’s why we shouldn’t wish for exponential growth. This place will lose its charm quickly if we end up arguing with the trolls.
