I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

    In my view, Lemmy ecospace became a lot more dark. People are snarkier, less prone to engage in polite conversation and divergent opinions get hounded.

    I also sense an increased tendency for doom and gloom. Nihilism is on the rise, as well.

      Would you say the doom and gloom is Lemmy specific, or more of a global thing, given the state of life ATM?

        I’m only on Lemmy. Can’t speak for other places. On my day to day life, people are concerned with living their lives.
