I came here around the time the rif app shut down, and the general vibe I get from this place is much more negative than when I joined. Is Lemmy growing more toxic or is it just my imagination?

It makes no difference. The single minded fuckwits will inject politics into a thread about cheese sandwiches.
Cheese sandwiches are a tool of capitalist oppression. They are a symbol of how the working class is unable to get the nutrition they need and is yet another attempt by the liberals to make you forget their support of genocide. Eating cheese sandwiches supports genocide.
I would like to note that although correct this comment is itself a bit rude
I dont care if I offend the fuckwits. Maybe they can do a little self reflection.
I would recommend you do the same. Why do you think they are bringing up politics in seemingly unrelated conversations?
Read the part I wrote about “single minded fuckwits.”
That pretty much sums it up.
Is it possible that politics has relevancy to a large portion of our lives and cannot be cleanly separated from our other experiences?
This is the issue I’ve seen everywhere. Military grade TDS. Even if you want to chat about your love for onions in an onion-based community, someone will probably talk about how orange man destroyed onion farmland and is a fascist. I don’t think there’s a way to avoid the constant repetitive rage seeping into everything.
What is TDS?
Trump Derangement Syndrome, which is where people are concerned about Trump doing blatantly illegal shit (this is somehow a bad thing apparently)
One day historians will with any luck define whatever trump has as the Trump Derangement Syndrome.
