Politeness still (?) seems to be the majority and snarky comments are frowned upon and as a result, downvoted quickly.. There's also a certain bluntness that is appreciate by some for its directness and lack of pomp but (mis)interpreted by others as rudeness or hating. I've seen comments that begin with, "That's an absurd idea", followed by a clear explanation of why the idea is absurd, with replies from people complaining that no one should call an idea absurd because it was not nice. It's a big world.
