Is it just me, or have the comments on Lemmy become extra aggressive over the past 3 months?

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?

Marked spoiler for potential vibe harshing

It might be a mix of a lot of things. The Palestinian Genocide, Ukrainian War, Chinese Expansion, actual probable chance of a second Trump Presidency, and a great many other issues are probably weighing heavy on the minds of net denizens. That and less sunlight than in the summer months.
Plus I've never seen any posts from a Foodporn or cute pets lemmy community, but I have seen crimes against the culinary arts and some posts about pets that have died.
People are just not feeling optimistic, and that leads to feelings of repression and anger.
The superb owl community is pretty great for cute animals
It really is. And, the Flammulated beat the Great Horned in a complete upset during the community-wide poll! 🤩🤘🏼
The spoiler block doesn't work on Sync it seems, unless you used the wrong >!spoiler tags!<. I wonder if it was the full stop or it being broken over several lines.
Seems like Sync only understands one-line spoilers, so you need each line in a separate spoiler
I definitely haven't used the wrong tags because my instance formatted it for me when I selected the text and clicked the spoiler button above the text box. I'm sorry yours uses a different format or that your reader/viewer application doesn't support it.
Weird, I did the same from the editor. it works for me on Sync bot not on lemmy.world on web /: Guess they need to sync these, otherwise we'll have spoilers floating around everywhere in the face of unsuspecting readers
The Palestinian Genocide
Lol imagine believing this
