I too am a Reddit-refugee. This is exactly what started turning me off to Reddit. The comment section was no longer a place for discussion but rather an echo-chamber for the hate and toxicity that seems to have completely infiltrated that community. I opened an account here when it was still in early beta and mostly forgot about it while I tried to cope with the ever increasing amount of BS on Reddit. I ran here during the most recent debacle and also created an account over at voat. I am worried that the mass exodus will ruin the community at Voat so I have an account on both sites to see which one remains the least toxic through the influx of new users.
