I came here around the time the rif app shut down, and the general vibe I get from this place is much more negative than when I joined. Is Lemmy growing more toxic or is it just my imagination?

    No, it’s not just your imagination. It has become distinctly more hostile in all communities.

      Yeah. I was going to say I feel like people have a lot of “legitimate” reasons to be negative right now, at least in America. Our mental health has been tried.

        Oh boy. Try to imagine how people living in nations the USA and Canada exploit part of the world may be feeling right now.

            That’s not what I’m referencing at all. can you possibly try to imagine their living conditions? For centuries?
