They really don't, lol
If a community is full of assholes, unwilling to change, walk away! Don't contribute to what you don't want to support. It's just like voting with your wallet.
All contingent on whether you can actually afford to do so though, as usual, but I have a hard time believing that interacting on Reddit would be so essential, especially these days.
One guy says "I was lambasted on Reddit", no link, no proof, no hearing the other side, no any substantiation anything actually happened even.
Immediate conclusion: "community is full of assholes, unwilling to change".
This escalated quickly, didn't it?
Yes! Walk away. You don't have to delete your entire reddit account.
With this said, this is one place personal blogs work well.
You can post the problems you find there, and if you're half decent it will be picked up and put in search engines for people that have similar problems.
You at that point don't have to defend yourself, at least directly, to the community.
