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 things are getting worse. You do.

So you refuse to defend your spoken position with anything concrete, even though I've asked you about multiple specific examples that contradict your position.

And I don’t think any of this should add to the “hate” problem that some see on Lemmy. Which is the point of OP’s post.

Well why would you? You seem to be just fine with the destruction of lives around you, even making supporting statements that you think its good these things are happening to these people. Why do you think that your positions don't deserve hateful responses? Lemmy doesn't have a "hate" problem. Today's leadership in the USA, and as a consequence, our society now does.

Hate isn’t the answer

I agree with that statement. However, your chosen positions are steeped in hate yet you defer or ignore it. That wreaks of hypocrisy on your part, and points back to the intellectual dishonesty I accused you of earlier.

I've given you my opinion. I don't have to back anything up. I gave you my opinion. You gave me yours. I don't care enough to go deeper.

Hate's not the answer. But you do you, boo.

Nope. I don't hate anyone.

You just condone members of your government hating vast groups of people by voting for them. Doesn't seem like the actions of a loving person

I've never said nor have I ever done anything that condones anyone hating vast groups.

Don't sell yourself short. You've got apathy, malice or ignorance.
