Reddit slowly became filled with hatelocked

I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I've noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I've filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it's insane. I don't know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn't become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

So, are you saying that "reaching across the aisle" and hearing alternative views are bad things? I get avoiding hate speech and excessive negativity but is think a happy medium would be more healthy.

I think that hearing alternative views isn't necessarily a bad thing, but humoring insane takes is. I feel like there's a difference.
