It brings up the question — as a developer, how can you best set boundaries on your customers so that you can have some degree of control over the toxicity of the culture that you're exposed to when interacting with them?
Personally, I don't think you really can. I think the best thing to do from a developer/maintainer perspective is to identify toxic communities and do you're best to ignore them entirely. That's probably the best long-term approach from a mental health standpoint.
Especially when it comes to social media sites like Reddit, once a community turns hostile there really isn't anything you can do to turn it around.
