Why are trending posts on Mastodon mostly negatively politically oriented? (lemm.ee)

It seems anytime I try to check out Mastodon it is always some negative political view or affiliation of why X, Y & Z is bad. Is this just what most people like boosting or is it a sign of botting to push negativity over the more positive headlines?...
