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?

if we dare to speak up is enough to cause us to cringe enough that we would simply rather stay silent instead.
It’s a different kind of Chilling Effect. It reduces conversation, because it convinces some people to not become involved at all.
Whereas conversations like this one with you has the opposite effect - thank you for your addition and the link:-).
