At least on Usenet you don't see the kind of evil personal abuse that some people suffer on social media. People might make large numbers of annoying posts, but they don't dig out your home address and threaten your dog based on which political party you support. And I've never seen a Usenet post commenting on someone's physical appearance. (Though I have been accused on Usenet of being possessed by demons that speak through me - whether that means I have been the victim of evil abuse, or the perpetrator, I'm not sure.)
