I came here around the time the rif app shut down, and the general vibe I get from this place is much more negative than when I joined. Is Lemmy growing more toxic or is it just my imagination?

      They still are but I’ve learned to love the block list and use it judiciously with people who go beyond good faith arguments of any sort.

      Were you not here for that same year when anyone who said that democrats shouldn’t be supporting genocide was accused of being a russian chinese trumper republican tankie bot? Oh, and as you accused in your comment just now, a child.

      democrats still have no business supporting genocide. It’s shameful and there needs to be accountability. None is forthcoming.

          I was just saying that there was also hostility and accusations against the anti-genocide left from the pro-genocide center.

          Which continues to this day. Not gonna start accepting genocide just because you don’t like hearing that it’s wrong.

              Genocide is not a new thing.Genocide is not a new thing. It’s always been around. And no matter how much people cry about it, it’ll continue regardless. It’s always been around. And no matter how much people cry about it, it’ll continue regardless.
