The pandemic made everyone 10% more acerbic at minimum. CP is just a microcosm of regular society, skewed more heavily towards responsive people (those who are motivated to yell into the void about a hockey team...) So, it probably made people here about 15-20% more mean-spirited.
Personally, I just developed a thicker skin to general insults and disrespect. It's not worth fretting over.
