Are people really that angry? I mean I know we live in a crazy world, but this seems a bit much.

All it takes is one crazy guy. If you think about the size of reddit it makes sense that there is at least one who is willing to harm others

The incel terrorists in Canada were both on Reddit, iirc. There are some incredibly fringe communities on Reddit. And Lemmy, for that matter.
