I’m already seeing a small but distressing increase in behaviors that are frankly embarrassing.
There’s no need to make what seems like an extra effort to treat each other poorly. Being “casually” antagonistic, dismissive, and instigatory for its own sake is miserably sad.

Easier said than done. The best you can do is try to control your community and make sure they don’t act out. Observe and know what places to avoid. Cultivate a positive atmosphere and positive engagement.
