Yeah, the HD2 community has generally been pretty awesome. I've got something like 270 hours logged at this point, almost exclusively with randoms through quickplay, and I think I've only had like 5 people who were truly trying to grief anybody else in that time. There's a good handful of people who overreact to getting TK'd, but generally people take it in stride.
It was a bit worse shortly after release, though I think that was largely due to people not really "getting" what the game was yet (things like kicking people before extract to "steal" their samples, etc). Now that people have a general understanding of how the game works and what to expect when playing, there seems to be a lot less hostility overall, at least in the lobbies I've been playing in.

You can hug???

It is one of the emotes you can buy in the warbonds, don’t remember which one has the hug. The hug starts with the arms outstretched and only hugs if the other person does the interaction thing. So if you see someone that looks like a friendly T pose go up and click that interact button!
Sometines in game I like to start it while watching explosions with my arms spread wide like a lunatic.

It’s in the base game warbond so everyone can easily get it. 🙂

Hugs are the best!
