A lot of people on Reddit lack emotional intelligence

It makes posting anywhere else on Reddit feel like a chore. The unnecessary backlash, passive-aggressive comments and straight up insults over harmless opinions or questions. It’s like people have forgotten how to just talk to one another like decent human beings. You can disagree without being nasty. You can critique without making it personal. There’s a real person behind every post.

Do you think Reddit as a platform encourages this kind of behaviour? Or is it more about how emotionally disconnected people have become online in general?
