I dunno. I just feel less like I'm experiencing a fun new tool for communication the last few weeks. The communities here on Beehaw are still great and fantastic and aren't what I'm bothered by. It's just when I venture out in the world (which I often do) that I notice conversations are much more argumentative than I remember them being.

How's everyone else doing? Is this a minor vibez check?

Yeah, last week or two have been more aggressive overall

To me it seems the activity is declining, people just gave in to Reddit. It's a bit strange.

I'm certainly feeling ruder, but that's me. I think this feels pretty similar to when I started a couple of months ago

In a few topics / threads I have noticed more nastiness (some of it thinly veiled as condescension). Even a little bit of it on beehaw. But, it's still not as bad as I remember on reddit. I have blocked some people and communities on lemmy, and that has helped clean up my feed.

No not really. Just that people seem to have lost the honey moon feeling and are comfortable with downvoting shit when those first few weeks it was like a taboo to do so. And I don't consider that rude.

I can't tell anything about downvotes I just see how people are talking to eachother. And yeah. Honeymoon phase. I think that matches the sentiment I was using to frame what I think is going on

It's just the human condition. Humans are just plain mean and I am one of them. Humans also can't get along anymore. Personally I blame the collapse of our society.

I don't think humans are so bad. You probably just focus on the idiots like Elon Musk and other public figures.

I'm over 40 and almost everyone I meet are really nice.
