Reddit slowly became filled with hate
Reddit slowly became filled with hate
I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I've noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I've filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it's insane. I don't know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn't become the same type of echo chamber of anger.
You're viewing a single thread.
I don't think it was gradual, it was an active admin corps that tried to build balance with progressive Redditors by allowing Nazi thugs free rein to brigade, troll, and spread their hate.
Yes it patently and profoundly idiotic to try and counter empathy with Aryan Christofacism.
And so we find ourselves in the Fediverse and hoping it won't go the same way again.
Sounds like you're as self-aware as Reddit is.
