This. In recent months I've seen more and more hostile interactions and political strawmans than I can count. Been on Lemmy for over 2 years, and it hasn't changed for the worse until recently.

    Yeah, it all changed after Trump's victory and all the crazy shit he started immediately doing. I have both contributed to the problem, and lamented the shift. I don't want this platform to be about slinging half-baked political takes (lumping myself in there, to be clear), but also I can't blame anyone for wanting to discuss the terrifying stuff we're seeing. Really was cooler here, even just 6 months ago.
