nah on reddit, there is active moderation and users self regulate and you don't see real scum and villainy unless you sort by controversial(or seek out a subreddit that sucks) in any irc it's constant and due to the inertia of users, even if you come back a month later the same user will probably come back and say the same dumb stuff to you instead of you finding someone new to talk to

Perhaps, but the issue you're having is indeed a lack of moderation. And IRC does not lack moderation tools.

  It does lack a significant number of people willing to take over somebody else's IRC channel though. There is a lot of cultural inertia around it
