I like a lot of the communities on that instance, but every once in a while I just get hit with a random wave of toxicity by them for no reason. For example, there was a post asking which communities from Reddit do you wish existed on Lemmy, and I answered honestly saying more car related communities as they are one of my hobbies, and I got severely downvoted and got replied to with "there is a FuckCars community" There are other times in the past where something similar happened in a lemmy.ml community, where I said something that was 100% non-offensive, non-argumentative, and non-political but got mass down voted for no reason. I have not had this problem anywhere else however. Does anyone else have a similar experience or no?

Conservatism is bad. Conservatism has only one tenant. Conserving power for your group and your group alone. Whether or not said power structure is good or bad. Conservatives themselves are intolerant and selfish. But always shocked when their selfishness and intolerance is returned to them. If you want tolerance and understanding show tolerance and understanding. The same advice I would give to leninists.
