Last I checked, there were 3 people who were openly hostile in a thread where the significant majority were wishing mallakk the best. I won't defend my statements; they were incredibly disrespectful and I was chewed out by the Admins for making them. However you seem to be focused on what 3 people said, more specifically what I said.
There's this idea in psychology called confirmation bias, which is defined as the "tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses." In that thread, there were at least 7 positive individuals and 3 negative ones. At most, that's 30% of commenters were negative. Considering the toxic tone on here over the last few weeks, 70% openly positive is a damn good number. But you choose to instead focus on the statistically inferior negativity, which affirms your notion that this server is imploding.
Everything points to the server moving in a healthy direction, both in the community and in the metrics. But we don't see posts about that, do we? Nope. Just the usual "This place is a tire fire and I hope you all grow up before it dies" noise. Happy people don't complain about how happy they are. Content people don't march. Sure, this community can mature. But if you only choose to seek examples of the worst here, you'll never realize this server is in the best shape it's ever been in.
