I think today it's a lot less explicitly aggressive, but it's actually more meanspirited. It might be controversial to say this, but online discourse is a lot less male and a lot more female than it was. Is this any great surprise?
If I could filter out the overuse of profanity shown in this article, I would. "Fuck yeah!!! That bad bitch is totally the shit!!" gets caught by a profanity filter. No great loss, IMO.
If you get normal not-always-online not-gen-Z people to evaluate these messages and label them as Good or Bad then you will get results like this. If I got any member of my family over the age of 30 to evaluate these messages, they'd label them all as offensive.
