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?

More people more drama. I rarely see rudeness in my experience

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

I've found much more genuine, honest discussion on here than other platforms. More people say thanks when someone corrects them. I feel like I'm talking to reasonable adults, for the most part.

I feel like casual rudeness and insults have become more common as more people have come over from Reddit.

Are people negative and rude or not expressed passion towards anything?

Also, I think there is a good passion for tech surrounding this community. I like that.
