Minorities and women are subject to nonstop violent comments.

God help you if you are a moderator and a member of a popular community and known as member of one of those groups.

And its even worse if you are a mod, a minority member, AND a mod of a minority community.

The best way to think of social media/reddit is a beautiful cleave sort process.

People form a community, and then they have to deal with attackers or outsiders. Eventually a drama even occurs and people get expelled.

These people who are expelled form their own community and this process continues ad infinitum.

On top of it, some people will independently create subs just to target you, or create subs that inadvertently target you (from the old forum days - nazi forums would actively harass Jewish forums.)
