Why do you accept that people being mean to you is a price you must be willing to pay to participate? (Aside, toxic can be much much worse that just "being mean", but I'll engage with your definition here for the sake of discussion.)
I mean that some portion of the population is between disagreeable and despicable. Good communities ban the despicable but no matter where you draw the line some people will inevitably be negative enough to be a drag without stepping over the line to the point of being banned.
