This article from 2022 does a very good job of capturing the social media landscape and the condition of political discourse right now. It highlights one thing that I've been hearing a lot and agree with, the cruelty is the point.

I've read this article some time this week, don't remember in what instance it was posted now. But it really is excellent and describes what is happening to Reddit before it happened. It's a long read but I encourage it!
