Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.
I find a lot of the communities can be pretty negative. Lots of people talking about how bad things are. It would be nice to see more positive outlooks. But maybe that’s just a sign of the times.
if you try to talk about positive things they downvote you into oblivion, and/or comment about how stupid and wrong you are or you’re an ignorant boomer or you’re a rich privileged jerk.
you’re not allowed to be happy or enjoy anything if they are miserable. miserable people want everyone to be miserable with them.
Be the change you want to see! Stick with the positivity and don’t worry what other people say, you can do it! Don’t look at down votes, or better still move to an instance that doesn’t accept down votes if it bothers you.
