Obviously, the internet has always been a toxic place, (the phrase “flame war” has been around for decades,) but it seems to have gotten so much worse over the last few years. I used to think decentralization of the internet would fix the worst of it, but Lemmy seems to have gotten worse alongside the rest of internet culture, proving me wrong. How do we fix/improve this culture of toxicity?

Like, downvote the guy to the dirt if you want, but I think there’s a grain of truth in here. So long as the world at large is so severely negative, a good portion of that is going to bleed over into anywhere people who live in that world gather.
