You have to remember, we're talking about Reddit, here. Anyone with eyes knows that Reddit is a cesspool and anyone can create an anonymous account with no verification at all. I'm a nobody, and I regularly have people fight with me on there and sometimes get death threats. Never happens anywhere near to that degree on other social media sites.
- meowface 6y agoI think it happens on every large social media website, unfortunately. You can find it all the time on YouTube, for example.
- klyrs 6y agoIf you enable showdead, you'll even see it on HN. Thankfully, mods here do better than Reddit can
- fulafel 6y agoHN is similarly anonymous, let's not bash privacy support. Cultures breeding bad behavior are born of complex sets of reasons and otoh you get the same kind of thing on FB.
- nicbou 6y agoHN has strict moderation, and it maintains a certain standard of discourse. There are many reddit comments that wouldn't fly here.
- collyw 6y ago> I regularly have people fight with me on there and sometimes get death threats. Good effort. I haven't managed to receive a death threat yet.
