Curious, as a longtime editor, what's gotten harder for you recently?

As a casual, very infrequent editor, I echo everyone else's complaints that it's intimidating to have your additions reverted by the old guard who seem to have an increasingly particular vision of the site.

21 years of editing, that's awesome! I'm curious though, what's changed? If I were to maybe guess, I'd imagine it coincides with the rising temperature of the online culture war?

You tend to have to get all your ducks 100% in a row before you edit or create. It used to be I could author a new article with some decent solid sources and there would be no argument. Then someone later would come and fix any deficiencies and maybe switch out the sources for better ones.

Basically, it's become "perfect is the enemy of good."
