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?

    Let me preface this by saying that the following are my opinions. They’re based on my experiences and prejudices. Take it with a grain of salt, and make of it what you want.

    I don’t block users by instance, just posts. Posts on your instance tends to get moderated heavily one-sided. I got reprimanded (I think it was a temp ban, but I can’t remember) for being skeptical about AI. I don’t want to spend time and energy engaging in a discussion under those conditions.

    But that doesn’t mean every dbzer0 user is an AIvangelist. Same goes for .ml, they’re not all tankies … although I’ve found that not engaging with .ml users tends to give me a more pleasant experience in general.
