People are kinder here, overall.
That may be because there aren't troll bots, stoking the fires, to drum up 'discussion' which makes it look good to advertisers that it is an active pool of users.
Did no one see the all the bots around 2015/2016 learning on Reddit?
They would say all sorts of non-sensical stuff as they learned, until there would be a hit or two that would get responses out of people, and it would re-enforce the bot to say more things like that.
Guess what kind of stuff/topics gets a plethora of responses?
Less bots, less adverts.
Seriously, half the posts/discussions/replies on Reddit aren't even real.
SubredditSimulator leaked out all over Reddit a long time ago.
