The Mods on most crypto subs were horrible. Any opinion that is contrary to the groupthink would get you immediately disciplined.
And yeah, that happened on other subs too. But the crypto subs were particularly insidious because you knew that some of them were active since the beginning of crypto, which means they got in early, and are likely filthy rich. So they don’t have a day job anymore (other than shilling their latest crypto project), and have more time to be petty and vindictive.
There were others too, but yeah, r/bitcoin was the worst. It got to the point where I simply stopped writing our r/bitcoin anywhere on Reddit, because I didn’t want to be accused of brigading.
r/dogecoin also got insufferable once Doge got above $.01. The worst thing that ever happened to the Dogecoin community was for the coin to actually be worth something.

I remember r/Bitcoin is especially notorious with that. I don’t think it’s a problem with all of them though.
