Is it just me or has Lemmy become more negative and less fun? (self.offtopic)

When I joined Lemmy during the Reddit exodus it felt like a new breeze and very positive. It feels like this has changed, posts and comments are more negative. Lots of complaints, even positive news posts receive a lot of negative comments. I am always trying to see the positive in things. Just doesn't feel fun anymore. Perhaps it's just me though.

Also still mainly see technical posts, lots of Windows/MS bashing. I'd like to see more communities about non technical things. Perhaps I haven't discovered them.

I think it's like when you date someone while they're with their partner then when you're their partner they cheat on you.

A lot of the people who came here did because they're the sort to focus on problems and complain about them, they were hyper focused on problems with Reddit but now Reddit is leaving our minds we focus on the new thing.

Society needs all sorts and the first step of solving a problem is to spot it, I do think there's a really good quality of debate compared to Reddit so even the doomers are better here.

We could do will more positivity and good news being shared though, and trivial things the are just nice and fun.
