Since I joined Lemmy in June this community has just been getting more and more toxic. I never see good news, just bad news, and always the same biased takes. If anyone tries to disagree or point out a silver lining they get shut down. What is going on?

    I’m noticing the same. Maybe the chill people are slowly having enough of the more toxic people and are going somewhere else. I’m not really enjoying the constant barrage of far-left biased news and opinions. I just want to chill but it seems to permeate everything. Things aren’t always great in the world, but personally I come here to not be reminded of that.

      Politics is an ever present reality of life especially nowadays with the internet so that’s kinda why it’s everywhere. People want to vent and vent where they feel safe. If you don’t like it just scroll past, that’s what I do when I don’t really want to engage with content
