Why is the culture of hate growing on Lemmy? (programming.dev)

Why are most people here are negative and rude?

Just to be clear here, I am not talking about instance, rather I am asking about the whole community.

There is no one I seen here who even had expressed any passion towards anything really.

I cannot understand how did that happen?

You'll have to be more specific. I'm not seeing any unusual amount of negativity.

What's that thing about expressing any passion? What do you mean by that?

Go to any political post. Everyone is calling others names and it’s not productive at all.

Yep, most smaller communities on Lemmy are awesome. Political communities are terrible and the people who are mad at ya in those, will follow you to non-political communities just to downvote and harrass. It's toxic.

But that's humans? It's always been like that, everywhere at all times. The only thing that's changed, maybe, is that Lemmy is growing and there's more discussion in general so of course the absolute number of things that cause name-calling has grown too, just like the absolute number of things that don't.

That's not true. Go to youtube and read the comments under any lofi video but that's just one example. When Lemmy just started it was a place for people to escape the fanatics and now it's becoming more toxic.

And that's Youtube, an entirely different place that isn't the topic of discussion here and that's ALSO always been Like That. Never Look At The Comments is received wisdom.
