In my experience Reddit users at least tried to hide their blatant racism/sexism/homophobia.

On the other hand, I've never seen so many people calling others racists, sexists or homophobes ever before than on Lemmy. It's almost as if there is a group of people who see those things everywhere, even when it's not actually there.

I have seen zero comments where this is actually occurring but I've seen lots of comments where people are accusing someone of being those things.

I think it's the same reason some women starts to hate all men - they can't separate the good ones from the bad ones anymore and they just start hating an entire gender.
