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 of my comments get down voted for seemingly no reason, or because I went against the “norm”, but often i write a joke that falls flat.

And what’s the deal with cops shooting people?? Have you seen this?
That was also the case on reddit though. It’s just the demographic making up the norm were somewhat different. So, different subjects will get that response.
My solution is posting from my own kbin instance. I only see the upvotes here :P
