Fuckcars was a reasonable community in the beginning but once karma farming started it went 0 tolerance quick. It's like some militant vegan energy vampire mod saw the potential and took it. Now it's some matrix situation where they feed off a constant flow of rage.

Reddit and mostly all "social" media only care about engagement. Psychologists have found out that negative information has a significantly higher chance of user engagement to respond (comment, share) than positive information

It's why ragebait is so effective and why it's everywhere (even Lemmy and BlueSky,)
