Yep, I noticed this in 2018 when I rejoined, the atmosphere was quite toxic and I did my best to point it out. It has gotten better because the principal offenders have either left or have started posting a lot less.
There's also the major gripe I had/have about a certain toxic person who unfortunately has their name in bold. That situation is apparently irreversible and has caused at least one potentially very interesting poster to bail.
But hey, whattayougonnado...
