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?

well i don't say that its orchestrated or premeditated, its generally that group wants to feel part of a group and they look for signs that they're part of a group. the "tipping point" is a comment (or even a downvote on op replies) and then people that seek approval align themselves with the largest group.

I told the anti ai crowd that i was going to make an ai bot somewhere on the fediverse just to see how people would interact with it fedizens, simply to satify my curiosity, so that's the context. i just telling people "you're being an asshole to me and making demands from me while I'm just trying to hear you out, so i don't feel like changing for you"

My bad, perhaps the better word to use would've been paranoid. Had a similar ring to 'they only come out when no one else is looking', ya know?

Oh okay. I did have a conversation I tried to explain a litteral conspiracy and I kept getting called a conspiracy theorist
