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?

I would guess that many people came here for that reason. On Reddit, keeping etiquette has become more important than contents. Having your post deleted because of noninclusive language or harsh tone, that’s not fun. Having to write “in my opinion” before any relevant sentence is also annoying. Of course, it is. It’s always opinions.

Bunch of pansies with keyboards, as some would say.

It might be partly that. And have you seen how neighbors talk to each other?

I try to concentrate on the content, and I always keep in mind that the author might be in a hurry, is having a bad day or whatever. It’s rarely personal.

That’s not the Reddit I remember

I thought I was being targeted by trolls, so I wasn’t the only one

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.”

Daft_ish ,

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.

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

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.

It comes in waves. I don’t like the overly sensitive crap either though.

I’ve noticed the comments becoming more and more hostile and a lot more argument than discussion recently.

unreasonabro ,

The average person who comes here is looking for something that isn’t reddit, because they were caught in the great content and moderation purge as reddit frantically tries to maintain a clean public face while it prepares for its IPO, which will turn it the rest of the way into garbage.

In other words, people who come here are pissed off to have to come here, pissed off to be here, and pissed off in general. As the exodus continues this trend will increase, and I truly hope we don’t start making the censorship mistakes and heavy-handed banhammering that wound up creating the need for this place to begin with.

Less about the sub and more aobut the world going to shit with the ultra aggressive companies and unchained immigration all over the first word from India, muslims and Africa.

On a related note. Is there an Android Lemmy app that allows me to view my subs as a homepage? It’s only local and all in Voyager.

You can set this up in Connect

I’ll give that a look. Thanks

I have voyager and I have home, all, and local. Home being my subs. I don’t believe I’ve done anything extra to get the “home” option.

@vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works avatar

Cheers, thanks for the tip. I’ll like around and see if it’s a pebkac on my end.

ji17br ,

Those ID-10T issues are the worst haha

@vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works avatar

I might as well have support escalate it. Obviously the UX and UI teams aren’t overworked enough.

ji17br ,

If you go to settings > General > Default feed do you see home there?

If you visit your instance on a browser do you have a home option?

Maybe for some reason your instance itself doesn’t have a home.

Good luck sorting it out!

That’s absolutely where it was at. Thanks friend! Now I have a more curated approach and can avoid the stuff that makes me have global warming, totalitarian regime panic attacks. Haha

ji17br ,

Happy to help! Definitely much better for the mental health to avoid all the doom and gloom

Agree completely. I had a well curated feed on Reddit developed over years and years of careful pruning. I miss a ton of those communities and forgot what the open funnel of Internet sewage was like. Even just a few minutes on the front page of any social media network is enough to send me back to books and blogs. Lol

Eternity has this, great app in general

I’ll try that as well. I landed on BaconReader (RIP) for the other site. Haven’t found quite the same fit with Lemmy apps. Always down to try a new one though. Thanks!

    I think this post is looking to have a (real) conversation. Why do you think that’s not the case?

    Even if this was the case, not assuming good faith is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

    Conversation doesn’t have to be that way.
