Is it just me or has Lemmy become more negative and less fun? (lemmy.nz)

When I joined Lemmy during the Reddit exodus it felt like a new breeze and very positive. It feels like this has changed, posts and comments are more negative. Lots of complaints, even positive news posts receive a lot of negative comments. I am always trying to see the positive in things. Just doesn't feel fun anymore. Perhaps it's just me though.

Also still mainly see technical posts, lots of Windows/MS bashing. I'd like to see more communities about non technical things. Perhaps I haven't discovered them.

Thanks for sharing!

I’m at a crossroads right now where I’m thinking about just leaving, or changing the way I interact with the site, because I think it is making me overall less happy.

That was my feeling yesterday as well. But, today, I posted on food@beehaw and had some nice discussions. Think you just have to be mindful of which posts you are participating in. I'm avoiding going to /all, and if I find a community I'm subscribed to too negative, I just unsubscribe.

But it's annoying if that means, like for you, that your subscribed feed is not active. Well, gives you time for other things :) Personally, I wouldn't leave Lemmy yet. I've learned some very cool things here, and had some very good discussions.
