    By and large, this was my experience. People wouldn’t answer the question, they’d state their ideals.

      As an old on the internet, I can tell you that this absolutely isn’t exclusive to Reddit.

        It even happens here on kbin. The discourse over on /m/gaming is only marginally better than its Reddit equivalent.

        It existed before Reddit, and it will exist long after Reddit is gone.

        The antidote is smaller more focused communities with well enforced guidelines. It’s why /r/Games was so much better than /r/gaming (and still is to an extent), but there will always be a big popular place where people can shitpost and huff their own farts. It’s not for me, but for many it’s cathartic, relaxing, or simply the only thing they want to do while sitting on the toilet.
