It's kinda like when you filter reviews and everything is either 5 stars or 1 stars. Most people will only comment if they feel strongly about something and unfortunately we live in an outrage culture, so the majority of interactions will be negative. Very rarely will someone put the effort to reply to something they feel ambivalent towards
I've noticed that. Everything's become so black-and-white and lacking in nuance that people feel like they absolutely must fit into one box or the other. ugh
