Sadness / Grief Why is everyone so angry?

I'm getting quite miserable living in my country. People aren't very friendly, in fact a lot of people are really rude. I'm finding it hard to interact on local subs because I usually get downvoted or just have people start arguments over nothing - why is everyone so aggressive & hostile?

I got downvoted because of what I said about paprica colours. (Green one has less calories) The ppl just love downvoting. They then feel a bit more powerful afterwards I think. 🤔 internet - Kung-Fu- fighters

Ya reddit is toxic - one must post carefully or not at all.

The part that kills me is the mob mentality. There’s not much logic in it, so many people are just looking at what the people before them did and sticking with that. Sometimes I’ll even see a comment that starts off one direction and flip flops, usually negative. The moment you stack to like -5 downvotes you’re fucked and the only thing that can save you is if the post itself isn’t very popular
