Reddit has that effect. I admit I was a little unhinged when I came here, but either people calm down and start acting like real human beings, or else they realize they can't have their fun being trolls and they leave. It's a funny thing that happens when an entire platform is centered around people, not profit. Bots and ragebait are great for stonks - they drive "engagement" and inflate MAU - so they are pervasive on every platform with shareholders.
