Yes but there was also the time a guy in Africa took a machete to the face defending an orphanage from looters, and reddit got together and raised a couple hundred thousand to help the orphanage. They built walls and set up security, as well as providing loads of learning material for the kids.

Point being, there were a lot of good things about reddit - if there weren't, Lemmy wouldn't be so similar. The problems with reddit all revolve around the admin, and in particular their efforts to monetise the site and "increase user engagement" by promoting controversy and hostility.
