Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?

Does the reddit style format inherently make for a toxic environment? Or is it a culture of toxicity from the influx of reditors?

slimsalm,

Imo, downvotes is just a disagreement. Being offended by it sounds like a “you” problem, we all have to deal with it.
