Incredibly bad. People seem to be too comfortable in their safe bubbles that when confronted when dissenting opinions they tend to see it as an attack that must be the orchestrated by an enemy real or imaginary.

When I started participating in some random forum a very long time ago as a kid, some guy I was arguing with told me to never assume bad intent unless you see clear evidence of it. I didn't get it at first but eventually made my interactions way more manageable.

It's more; you must belong to the Other Team. It's an astroturf account. It's a troll.

For how could anyone possibly disagree with me and do so in good faith?
