Part of the problem is many of the users just don't get jokes.
You can post something that is blatant, obvious satire, and no matter how obvious or ridiculous, someone will argue about it.
Much of the userbase is fundamentally unable to understand humour.
Or they upvote anything that aligns with their political views, regardless of quality, see the posts of Pizzacake comics as an example.
Being early adopters many people here are tech or autistic people. There are also a lot of conscientious people who left Reddit, so many people tend to be more introverted and reflective.
