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?

Some lemmy instances are explicitly leftist and that's something we all just need to accept. You can block those instances or you interact with them, but it's not anyone's place to tell an instance how to do things on their own server. There are general purpose instances as well.
