I think it's because of the anonymity/unaccountability of downvotes on Reddit... that that empowers people to be assholes with impunity. Compared to here for instance where it's a much better and much more positive system, with only positive votes (kudos) as well as accountability for those votes (ie all kudos is named)... leading to a much less toxic environment.
