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?

I don’t think it’s “growing,” more that as society continues to get worse people’s outlooks grow darker.

See, that's the problem. I don't think the world is getting "worse," it's just the doomscrollers on Lemmy wanting it to be worse to fit their own twisted narratives.

I think a lot of Lemmy posters are depressed and actually want everyone else to be depressed.

For many MANY groups it is getting objectively worse.

For those in the USA:

  • if they are trans they are at risk for violence or legal consequences for simply going in a public bathroom.
  • if they work for the federal government they have lost or are at risk for losing their livelihood.
  • if the weren't a natural born citizen of the USA they are at risk for deportation to a prison in El Salvador irrespective of their circumstances of student visa, asylum visa, green card holder, even naturalized citizens.
  • if they are a women, their lives are now at risk from preventable disorders if they get pregnant
  • if they are old or disabled they are now at risk of being declared dead and having their retirement Social Security income cut off
  • if they are a child they are at risk of dying from preventable diseases (like measles or whooping cough) even with decades old effective vaccines available, but not used.
  • if they are poor they are at risk for possible hunger and starvation as basic food assistance has been cut around the country deemed as "waste"
  • if they are a veteran needing medical care they are now at risk from cuts to staff that facilitate care for the people that stood in defense of our nation.

For our great historical allies of Canada and Mexico:

  • they are getting their economies destroyed because they trusted the USA to honor its own written treaties.

For the rest of the world:

  • they just today the world got an unjustified kick in the shins with nearly global trade tariffs from the USA.

The only group that aren't generally hurt yet are: well off older white men

As a member of that group I find it fucking disgusting what is being done to everyone that isn't in this group at the hands of this group.
