Anecdotally, Iβve seen more spam lately too.
Btw, what are we calling aggressive chat bots? Auto-trolls? Strife bots? Contentionator-3000s?

People used to talk each other like they would talk to a neighbor.
You should ask a police officer how some neighbours talk to each other...
I posted a cookie recipe in response to a cookie meme, got roasted for not converting baking units to science units. So yeah, people are getting kinda aggressive.

The number of trolls is going to increase as the user base increases.
Plus, you get the same negative effects of the echo chambers like Reddit did, but I think the communities being so small amplifies the effect.
Never forget the way the human brain works, with the more common interpretation being: "it takes 7 instances of positive things to outweigh 1 negative."
For my part I haven't really noticed any difference, but I only infrequently comment!
A symptom of rising tensions around the world in recent months, and this platform already being a political space.
OMG, yes! I've been running into so many rude/toxic comments lately. For me it feels like this place is devolving into Reddit again.

I've said it before, Lemmy is a fickle place.
I expect it will get better with time as we get more users.
Many will tell you this is normal and just how the internet is.
How depressing.
The halcyon days of Lemmy lasted a week or so. As soon as you have mods coming over for Reddit you have all the shit they are schlepoed along with them. Iβm only in here when Iβm shitting and then only because Iβve memorised the blurb on the back of the air freshener can already.
