Funny to think I wasn’t here in these 2020-2023 years
As much as I have read many struggle sessions here, I believe the current atmosphere is much more chiller compared to the previous period (note to self- I’ll prolly elaborate later)

Wow this is so bullshit. I can’t believe you’d support outdoor cats.

Honestly, though, I lived through those times and I don’t feel that it was so terrible. Granted I’m old, but one can just like click “read” on a reply and move on with their life.
That said, I do appreciate the “no debate bro” rule/vibe here now. Pedantically arguing small things to death isn’t fun. There’s probably a few issues that deserve large arguments, but also heaps and heaps that do not.
I lived through those times, and even though I didn’t partake in the struggle sessions, I kinda learned stuff from them? Even if it’s just to understand why people hold certain opinions so strongly. And the trans struggle session helped me crack my egg.
I agree with you though. Even if I find myself disagreeing with someone on here, the vibe is much more constructive than argumentative. Like it’s not arguing for the same of owning whomever across the screen, but out of curiosity and a need to be clear in your speech.
Some instances on Lemmy don’t have the disengage rule, and debate bro behaviour is just OK. I’m not complaining, for some people it’s a
issue. But if I was talking over something in a pub, and some guy was like “can we please change the subject”, I think it’s a normal level of politeness to do that and not go “DA FUCK, Y U no admit you wrong”.
It might just be an old man thing, but I’ve never gotten a legit “disengage” in my five years here.
