@McLoud I get the impression that this community is mostly left wingers either angrily downvoting posts, angrily downvoting comments, or angrily replying to the right wing/far right articles that get posted here. I kinda get an r/AskTrumpSupporters vibe from this community, with the exception that the right wingers here seem to be markedly more intelligent.
Did you ever consider the possibility that anger is the appropriate response to certain situations? For example, if someone passed a law that prevented you from receiving medical care, that would warrant anger.
@morphballganon Many of these things might make people mad, sure, but the people replying in this community seem more mad that these things are getting reported than that these things are happening.

@morphballganon Yes. The thing is, most of the posts her are not about medical care.
If we go to the community, the posts on the homepage are about:
A #Muslim terrorist murdering a cop in #Germany: https://lemm.ee/post/33713396
A man getting exonerated for raping a child after he says it’s part of his ethnic culture: https://lemm.ee/post/33546099
#JoeBiden signing an executive order to limit migration into the #USA: https://lemm.ee/post/33589787

Perhaps they were downvoted for being off-topic.
@morphballganon If they were, that would make no sense
