Does an Influx of Former Reddit Users create a Shift in Athmosphere? (feddit.org)

I am myself a newcomer, did a full switch straight from reddit.

However, I did it just a few weeks before mods and admins started to crack down hard on certain opinions. Guess I had seen the sign on the wall.

I believe reddit's clear change of direction has pushed many more people into the lemmyverse, many of them just like me, straight from reddit.

I sense that recently the tone around many subs has shifted towards more agressive and more divisive, and other patterns I recognize all too well from my years on reddit.

Do other people sense this too? Am I on the right track or completely off?

Yes. Every time there is an influx from reddit this place becomes more childish toxic and stupid for a time.

Reddit normalizes psychotic behavior for many people that lack self awareness or professional help.
