Not one of my usual rants, this time. I just…
It still amazes me how toxic Reddit is. Sure, it’s anonymous, but so is this place, and yet we manage to largely keep it civil, most of the time…
Even in small subs (geographical in particular, but also sports), though, Reddit is just… Fucking vile. Utter hostility on all sides.
And yet, it is still one of the most popular sites on the internet, especially amongst the demographic I “belong to” (white, male, under 30)…
How very fucking sad that is.
Yeah, that’s all I wanted to say.
Glad we got “off” that shithole, even if I stupidly still keep going back to that awful, awful site/place.
Maybe I won’t, after the last couple of weeks.
It’s honestly just extra-shit, anonymous Facebook, now, with the demographics and woke virtue signalling of Twitter and all the simping of Tumblr (and Twitter, of course)…
Niche subs in particular are where it's extra bad. A small circle of interest makes them easy to subvert with progressive entryism.
Reddit is totally gone, forget it. You're more likely to (occasionally) see sanity on massive subs swamped with normies, if the prevailing mood trends away from clown world and towards the common sense norm, while the mods struggle to keep up with purging the wrongthink. Smaller subs? Consider those seats all full of reeking tranny posterior. I mentioned a similar process recently while commenting about metal subreddits.
Niche subs is also where if you get lucky the mod MIGHT, just MIGHT be a based one, though. It's a crapshoot though.
