It's not just you. I think the big difference is Ubuntu: before it was
available, the discussions were technical and generally distro agnostic.
These days the discussions tend to be less technical and more about how to
achieve Y in distro Z. There's even a tendency towards assuming the
reader uses Ubuntu too with statements like, "I'm running Awful
Albatross" without qualifying that that is a version of Ubuntu.
Finally, there is a misunderstanding of the expectations of
pre-release/beta software.
This is true of LUG lists in general, not just this one.
