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.
Among American users, this probably has a lot to do with the recent election.
I can't see a flag near the nick, so I just try to treat everyone with respect.
