A great deal of this study is entirely subjective and they focus heavily on social media that has ejected viewpoints. Therefore, why would there even be toxicity when it's only 1 viewpoint being allowed? Climate change is never having any sort of healthy debate on reddit or gab for example. It's 1 sided discussion in echo chambers(in this case opposing sides) and therefore toxicity should be expected to be 0. > For the vaccines topic, we collected about 70,000 comments from the r/VaccineDebate subreddit, focusing on the COVID-19 vaccine debate. except for the part where you check this out. https://www.reddit.com/r/VaccineDebate/ https://www.reddit.com/r/VaccineDebate/ They have 152 members and no activity for 4 years.So what's this about 70,000 comments of curation against antivaxxers. Reddit quite regularly banned anyone antivaxxer for 'medical misinformation' They aren't measuring toxicity at all in this case for example.
