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?

you have to understand that some of this people have extremist beliefs because they are poor and resent those who are doing better than them. so having a car makes you a target. edit: as you can see they resent my comment but have no arguments against it.

you can give them a chance if you want but the moment they show their colors you should just block them and move on. the world is full of resentful people. you can usually look at their comment history and see it's getting close to being worth reporting to the fbi in some cases.

If that's your argument, you should add that you doing better has nothing to do with your individual actions. Otherwise you just sound like a billionaire fanboy.

Nothing to do with your individual actions? Really? So there's no difference between someone who works their ass off in school / uni and someone who just fucks around and drops out? I get that the children of the richest 1% can fail successfully, but for the bottom 99% you have to have some substance in order to succeed.

Yes you need substance to succeed. But at the same time it's possible that you work your ass off, but something happens out of sheer bad luck and you fail anyways. While someone else fucks around but out of sheer luck gets the promotion/wealth.
