"Users organise themselves into communities on web platforms. These communities can interact with one another, often leading to conflicts and toxic interactions."
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.03697.pdf
The internet provides a lot of abstraction for users to hide behind, and this can provoke them to do things that they may not do in the real world
People who hold extreme views can be found, most likely to generate conflict between each other regarding their views
No incentive for respect
More scope for anonymity
Biased moderators of communities can silence users who express other views, causing even more conflict
Depends on management of community - public vs. private
Moderation also is a problem
Online shaming of people with other views
Toxicity even within communities
