Wasn't there a post here a while back about how half the people here are only here because they were too toxic to be anywhere else? If I'm not remembering wrong, I feel like that post could be relevant.
Anyway, I read the entry from the original post and it's not entirely wrong, thought it definitely depends on the instance you use. Still, some of it is pretty damning for the concept as a whole. Hopefully some standard health/safety features become the norm.
This is an obvious generalization that is in no way verifiable with any level of quality, right? This is that classic bias from loudest most visible nuisances(not the correct name for it, but I feel it's good enough)
At the end of the day, toxic users are the way they are due to a relationship with attention. So long as we are the little guy who's focused on interest-driven communities, toxic users will not feel welcome here by default.
