Oh no! I guess no good deed goes unpunished after all.
I'd better start by saying this is not my server and it sounds like you've found yourself in corners I've never visited or imagined there would be. I simply stumbled upon it and thought I'd share some Nice Stuff.
The concept of players taking their time to offer something genuinely useful to other players, at considerable in-game cost to themselves and irl very laborious seemed genuinely altruistic: a rarity these days.
I'm not going to go hunting until I find the Bad Stuff you refer to; it's the Nice Stuff that needs a helping hand!

What's toxic about it?
I used it to advertise a carrier trip I did with my FC, and the experience was completely positive, got at least a dozen commanders coming on for the ride, and most joined me in open during the major stops along the way (for IRL lunch, dinner, an overnight, and the next day's lunch and dinner).
For the FC owner, it made quite a long (and expensive, half a billion credits in fuel) trip a lot of fun. I never noted any toxicity.
I've also used it to get rides on other fleet carriers, and again, a wholly positive experience.
Ugh. I effing hate PC Master Race douchebags like that, gatekeeping a game so that half the player base can't have complete access to everything the game has to offer. This is coming from a PC owner who has only ever played ED on PC— people like that disgust me
