I don't know what world you live in. The modern society is amiable to the point of absurdity.

You had an influx of angry/scared people, who think anger is acceptable, so they brought their angry ways with them.

You're right though. We need to sit down and reach solidarity. Though, this is just a microcosm of what needs to happen for all of humanity, if it ever does decide it truly wants to survive.

Destruction leads to a very rough road, but it also breeds creation...

It simply depends where you look. Visiting a voat development / idea hub verse will reveal dramatically different content then the ideas that make it to the frontpage, which only do so via being submit to a broad verse that's doesn't specialize in that kind of discussion.

I understand. This is my alt account used specifically for trudging through popular subverses. However, on my other account, my subverses dropped in content specifically because the users no longer wished to be part of a stress inducing place (keep in mind my subverses are not stress inducing). I've spoken with them, and they just left voat in its entirety.

while that is them, and not me, I can't help but wonder...how much hate has permeated?

I feel like it all boils down to whether a person is a talker or doer.

In life, we all meet people who say they're going to do things who eventually back out of them. I don't think it's different here. A lot of people really do have the best intentions with contributing to conversations but are off-put by the complexity / effort that comes up.

If I were you I'd see it like this: people are leaving because actual work is involved

Also - what topic does that sub specialize in? you can be broad, I'm curious

No more, no less one way or the other. It's only what you are choosing to look at right now.

True, or rather what appears in my feed. I suppose I do have to hunt for the good. Just a shame though.

Yeah, I'm thinking of giving voat a bit of a break. I find that it's affecting my RL mood negatively. There's a lot of passion here, but that's not all good...

I think most anger comes from frustration that is mostly irrelevant to the "issues" that apparently move "hateful" people. Never seen an happy person complain.

Where does this frustration come from? IMO it's because the world is no longer hoping for an Age of Good Things and therefore it sees no point on working toward it. Even more IMO, that's because power is being once again concentrating in the hands of the few, so that most people are technically powerless.

On a side note, I hope this doesn't become a mirror image of Reddit: instead of being full of SJW and "sheeple", full of haters and cospiratards.
