Why does the culture surrounding Lemmy seem to be inherently negative and hateful? (lemm.ee)

I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.

It was predicted ahead of time that there would have been ex-Reddit users or current Reddit users who's got to come over and spread their misery carried over from Reddit itself. Very insufferable people with too much time on their hands to be bothering to do that.

If only they'd realize that it's far easier to handle them on Lemmy than it is Reddit. Which in turn, makes them look stupid. I mean, Lemmy isn't like Spez who allows the registration system to be treated as a machine gun of alts so that trolls seemingly come back instantaneously to resume where they left off.
