Why does the culture surrounding Lemmy seem to be inherently negative and hateful? (lemm.ee)

I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.

The whole point of the fediverse is that you can do it yourself if you don't like the way existing instances operate.

But here it seems you're not interested in putting forth any effort at all: https://lemm.ee/comment/11445877

If you want to join someone else's community, expect to have to abide by their rules. You wanna make the rules, put in the effort to make your own community. Nobody's forcing you to be here. Bye now, don't let my block hit you on the way out.

It's always a laugh to see users like this. Nothing like joining an established group and then whinging about how "toxic" it is when they get rebuffed for repeatedly breaking the given rules.

What rule did I break ?

Rule 3. Thou shalt not post thy IQ on the internet.

The guy who scored 167 at IQ test when he was a kid? Sadly logic does not follow emotion. If you want to argue back, then you need reason to be on your side.

Rule 26, If thou criticize communism thou needeth to do more then just question it.

Can you give me examples of socialism working?

Can you name at least one socialist nation that seek equity?
