I dunno. I just feel less like I'm experiencing a fun new tool for communication the last few weeks. The communities here on Beehaw are still great and fantastic and aren't what I'm bothered by. It's just when I venture out in the world (which I often do) that I notice conversations are much more argumentative than I remember them being.

How's everyone else doing? Is this a minor vibez check?

Also explicit astroturfing. Reddit is huge and has been targeted with extra helpings of extra angry politics since 2015 at the very, very latest. There's a lot of political posting here too, but it's possible (if annoyingly hard) to prune most of it.

Yes I am still grieving my dead, and grief can make it harder to connect with others I think.

there really is a need for a world-wide wake/funeral, people weren't supposed to have contact with infected dead bodies... the whole world was connected by the event, have a positive wake party, thank all the nurses and doctors, praise that it wasn't a more deadly disease.
