The last three years have seen, I believe, a stratospheric increase in the use of a rhetorical position that has always been unfortunately common on the internet (and, I suppose, elsewhere.) “The only reasons anyone could disagree with my position on this topic are mental or moral deficiency.” There are plenty of specific toxic behaviors that are less common here than elsewhere. But decentralization does nothing to reduce this particular dehumanizing and dispiriting trend - it’s worse here.
