Has anyone else noticed this, across the fediverse, Lemmy specifically. A lot of new users, but also a lot of first posts that are very inflammatory/rage baity.

Do we have another legit influx of new users? Or do we just have some bad actors trying to stir the pot? Or maybe I'm imagining it.

In my experience, it's not new. I noticed things were far more hostile than my reddit experience from the moment i got on Lemmy. Maybe it's because I unsubscribed from all the toxic places on Reddit (i promise they exist) but I browse /all here since it's too quiet otherwise.

I think it matters community to community - but I don't disagree with you. Personally, I suggest curating a list of communities that you like and subscribing to them. It's been much more pleasant having that than the barrage of All.

I mean, if you want tone policing, reddit is still there.
