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.

Online discourse has gotten to the point that if you disagree, you’re hateful

Hate is a meaningless word now, like so many over used words in this climate

This very post conflates outrage with hate. Change can start from within methinks, even though I'm not usually an individualist.

The outrage usually is outrage over perceived hate

Words like fascism and nazi have lost their meaning and people basically use them as a stand in for I don't like what you are saying
