I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

People have their real names and adresses posted to facebook and they still say the most awful things without a care.

Thats true but before I quit facebook i had to see my own family and friends post hateful content and these are real people unfortunately.
I also see them in real life, at one of my last jobs i was working with an actual nazi, he would go on and on about how hitler was right about the jews, and he would spout this crap to anyone who had to work at his table. (It was a carpentry job)
I used to believe it was the anonymity and im sure that contributes, but many people are fine with airing their hatred out for everyone to see.

Real people do post hate, though, at least in some capacity. I left Facebook over a decade ago and never went back because of all the insanely hateful shit some of my family posts. My wife’s still on Facebook (marketing manager, she kinda has to be) and every once in a while she’ll show me the stuff my family is still posting.
I mean, maybe my family is just particularly shitty?
