Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week agoI think it’s becoming a general societal mood. That could be because we have an aging population and older people tend to more negativity, or it could be economic circumstances and internets.

Yeah, it’s a tough gig at the moment. More and more people doing it harder and harder, and a generally shrinking middle class
I was going to say that, but bit my tongue. I’ve been feeling growing negativity around here (not the DT, specifically, but definitely AZ as well as wider Lemmy). I have a suspicion that it’s at least partially caused by these parts mostly being used by millennials, who are starting to lose touch and act more cynical and jaded. Can’t blame them, people aging, losing touch, and getting angry at new concepts seems to be the oldest human tradition at this point. Again, I don’t criticise, I realise I’m probably one of about 15 people on the entire fediverse under the age of 30, and I’m okay with that, I think I have a broad enough range of taste in most things to connect with nearly everyone, but sometimes the constant generational warfare and anger is enough to drive me bonkers
Maybe we need to team up and start a positivity club
