I dunno. I just feel less like I'm experiencing a fun new tool for communication the last few weeks. The communities here on Beehaw are still great and fantastic and aren't what I'm bothered by. It's just when I venture out in the world (which I often do) that I notice conversations are much more argumentative than I remember them being.

How's everyone else doing? Is this a minor vibez check?

Has anyone noticed that downvotes have become more common too? Back when I first joined, I hardly saw any downvotes and now you see them in almost every single comment.

Wait until you trigger one of the special groups of instances.... Make one off hand comment and the whole instance will brigade you. I can't wait unit blocking a whole instance is available...

For example I don't even how to downvote your post. (nor do I want to) Do you need to use a special Lemmy client to gain access to this functionality? Or is this because I'm from Beehaw? Either case, I don't care ^

Beehaw elected to disable the downvote. The theory behind disabling downvotes is that its easier to have a meaningful discussion if you can say "this is why I think your comment might have some problems" instead of everyone clicking the dislike button. It also encourages users to mentally question if something is bad enough to report

It's Beehaw. We don't do downvotes.

Some servers disable it, so you may need to switch to a different instance.
