Quick Question

Hey #fediverse, question for you. I recently made the mistake of going back onto #facebook to post on my neighborhood's community page to ask my neighbors to please keep their dogs on a leash so they don't keep wandering into my yard, breaking things, and scaring away the #cats that live in my yard.

It IMMEDIATELY devolved into two common sentiments:
1) If you don't want stuff to get broken, don't own stuff
2) Having cats is a moral failing and I should be euthanizing every cat that wanders into my yard.

I don't spend much time on facebook anymore, but I don't remember it being _that_ bad. So this is my question --

Is this a facebook problem, or just a sign-of-the-times / people problem? I haven't been on #friendica / #mastodon very long so I can't tell if my positive experience here is just a bubble or if people here are just more sane.
