I guess... I've just never seen so much unprovoked toxicity before though on my whole time on Lemmy/Reddit

They feed on toxicity, it's the only way they know that gets the anger-produced adrenaline flowing through their veins. It's addictive. Makes them feel alive and living, rather than festering in a rubbish-filled room dying a day at a time.

Yeah, pretty much. There’s a reason it’s called the Internet Hate Machine.
