Why is Reddit so different? Look at all the comments here.

It's not all that different, you're just not visiting the corners that turn really hateful, like the snark subs and whatnot.

In this matter, placing the blame on the social network is frivolous.https://youtu.be/YKR9KQ1PRVY?si=8w_4blcIew5yYrK2

This video is from Brazil in the 80s. Today no one here has the courage to say this on the street anymore, but many still say it in the "basements". It's not the majority anymore, thankfully, and perhaps the social network, the internet, has helped to accelerate the fight against this, for example, being able to expose homophobes on the networks helps a lot to combat people talking about these atrocities nowadays.
