I haven't been called that either, but I know what he means... many of Reddit's bigger community comment section basically seems to devolve into politics or racial issues even if it was a photo of a cute kitten. Often you'll basically see the comment section locked after it runs that course. The old reddit wasn't like that unless you visited political subreddits.

I think it's a product of some reddit communities becoming too big to effectively moderate.

I mostly stick with smaller, non-default subs and don't really run into this problem anymore.

Yes, smaller subs do not have this issue.
