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?

Did the automod delete my comment about how the tankie and red scare shit had died down???? Like wtf???

AFAIK there is no “automod,” aside from the “Removed” one that censors certain words/strings. Yours was removed by a mod for breaking “Rule 1.”

I don't know how that comment would break rule 1

A brief note on "tankies" | It's a slur, and it isn't just aimed at communists.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hard disagree. I don't care how many WordPress articles you link me.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

You hard disagree as almost all liberals & conservatives do, but this is lemmy.ml.

Wouldn't want to offend a tankie by calling them a tankie. Would be devastating for them.
