How do we reduce toxicity on the Fediverse, and on the wider internet? (sh.itjust.works)

Obviously, the internet has always been a toxic place, (the phrase "flame war" has been around for decades,) but it seems to have gotten so much worse over the last few years. I used to think decentralization of the internet would fix the worst of it, but Lemmy seems to have gotten worse alongside the rest of internet culture, proving me wrong. How do we fix/improve this culture of toxicity?

We are not angry or hostile, we just want to have some freedom and equality in the world.

    There are people willing to kill you and everyone you love, cause any amount of suffering, and give zero thought for it, just so they can get more power. I don't mind if those people get deleted

    You're talking about yourself. You are one of those people.

    Anarchists believe no one should have power over others

    then you shouldn't believe in violence. violence is power.

    you violate your own beliefs.

    Yeah it's like the famous paradox of tolerance, you must not tolerate intolerance

    Same way you gotta defend your freedoms from those trying to take them away from you, even if in doing so you end up violating theirs.

    No, it's that you're a thug who thinks they are a hero.

    And like all thugs, you hide behind theoretical bullshit to justify your horrible actions and beliefs as for the 'greater good'.

    And if you found yourself on the receiving end of the violence you propose, I don't think you'd be so eager about it.
