That's how humans in general work. Bad actors and assholes are everywhere (specially in the internet), not just Reddit.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

So you identified a problem.
But complaining does not fix anything, How can we combat toxic behaviour and make this place good?
Lol definitely an unpopular opinion I'll give you that
The Reddit migration and its consequences have been a disaster for federated Lemmy.
Include me in the manifesto.
Shitosting is vital to keep an interwebs society alive. We literally live in a society. If you want dour conversation, may I siggest Wikipedia's talk page.
This is like the third time I've felt like posting im_doing_my_part.jpg

Tech hipsters have a detrimental effect on everything they touch. Please stop.
The irony of someone with your handle calling anyone a tech hipster is immeasurable with today's technology.
Regardless, the post is about shitty Reddit behavior, of which your comment is a sterling example. If doesn't actually add anything useful to the conversation, you're just being an ass. Why? Who knows, but it just makes the place more unpleasant than before.
Your post is a boring rehash of the same old "eternal September" complaints from the mid-90s. My username has nothing to do with it.
