I kinda feel like Lemmy has been much more hostile recently. I don’t know if it’s bots or if I just post bad comments, but it makes me want to go back to just being a lurker.
EDIT: I was waiting for it to happen in this thread. Try to be positive and say something nice about the angry people, get downvotes. Haha. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a relative newcomer, I've felt and read a lot of hostility on Lemmy. Reddit felt smug, but not unfriendly.
It wasn’t always like this. I feel like it’s really been in the last 3ish months. Hopefully it’ll pass.
Usually there's an uptick of violent bOtH sIdEs SaMe-style rhetoric just prior to an election in some Western nation. I'm not sure if that is what is happening now or something else.
