I found a lot of Reddit was around "This person bad" for whatever of a million reasons.
And, of course I got downvoted for saying so on Reddit.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I think it's universal across the internet. I've seen the comments on ig get more an more aggressive too. I think we're all subconsciously anticipating conflict
It's not a great place anymore, mind you it hasn't been for some time but now it's a shit show!!
I remember that I got into Formula 1 because years ago that was one of the rare subredits without hate and fighting and than in a few years it become worse than stackoverflow and 4chan combined.
The rest of it similarly, some small subs were almost ok, but general feeling was just too aggressive.
Like others said, it can easily just be algorithm that is promoting hate since it is hunting for engagement and aggressiveness generates engagement. Similar to other social networks.
