Something here felt different, and I think I realized what.
Content here, at least from my experience so far, is not rage baity. When I go to Reddit it does not take long time until I get to some post that I go into and read because it makes me angry, or people in comments make me angry (and I have a need to engage to bark at the moon).
Here most of content I read because legit interest. Hope it stays this way.
You’re absolutely right, everything’s so civil here that the moment someone is remotely hostile to anyone it stands out like a sore thumb. Reddit was hell in some places in this regard, one word against the general consensus and everyone piles on you like you’re a terrorist.
And that’s without mentioning people who are there clearly just to stir up arguments, I don’t know how so many people don’t realize this. The “old” saying “don’t feed the troll” has been forgotten by a big portion of the internauts.
Yep hostile is the perfect way to describe Reddit.

I’m not sure they ever knew it in the first place!
But never mind now, we’re here and we can finally relax.
