It’s been going downhill for a while but I feel it’s gotten exponentially worse. Someone made a post under “insane facebook people” which had a picture of a sign on a hospital patient’s door that said “please knock before entering I wear a veil”. I said “you have to cover your face or Mohammed will smite you!” (which is literally the reason they do it) and the mod perma-banned me for violating a “rule”. I called them a power hungry loser and said it was clearly a sarcastic comment…and they responded by calling me a Republican (which confuses the hell out of me) and blocked me from responding to them for 3 days.

Someone else posted in the New York City thread saying “inflation is out of control, this place wants $15 for a bacon, egg and cheese!” and everyone there was supporting the place that charged $15. Any comment OP made was immediately downvoted to hell, regardless of the content.

People were calling someone from a story posted a “pedophile” in another sub because they found an adult (18 years old) attractive. When someone else was like “umm a pedophile is someone that’s attracted to pre-pubescent children…” everyone was just like “shut up pedo! You just want to fuck kids!”.

Everyone seems to have a hair trigger, is insane, or loves to rage-bait/troll just for the fun of it.

    Trolls reddit

    Complains about trolls on reddit

    Reddit has its own issues, but what you're describing is not a problem of reddit's, it's a problem with people. You're also not doing anything to help the problem.
