I'm not surprised, given your username and the connotations thereof. It sort of suggests dogmatic extremism in specific directions.
However, devils advocate, there was a not-insubstational length of time during which reddit was not, in fact, fake and gay. Its had an arc almost like the pre-AOL, pre-Eternal September internet; a useful tool used by a relatively small number of people to fulfill specific niches and create slash consume specific content that was flooded by a neutron star's worth of normie filth supported by corporate interests and greed.
There was a time period where people on r/games actually discussed games, where r/politics had actual right wing opinions, where r/science wasn't only tolerant of The Science, and etc. Reddit didn't suck back then.
Honestly, the normie infection and corporate sanitization has been an absolute disaster for human communication. There was a time people like you could circle-jerk on religious subs and forums, and people like me could circle-jerk in anti-religious subs and forums, and we'd tentativly meet on neutral ground for things like shared hobbies and coexist decently because we could always fuck off to our dedicated spaces if we didn't like the company of the neutral territories.
Now so much is balkanized into "good corporate citizen" and "filthy alt-whatever wrong thinker", and we've all been tossed into a small number of pits together, where everyone is so trained to look for enemies and sockpuppets that we bite and claw at each other at random.
Hell, I'll bet seven shekels and a decently beaten slave girl you can take to wife that some faggot will crop up to call me a jew within 24 hours because they'll fixate on one specific sentence in my second paragraph, and studiously ignore the rest, having identified an apparent enemy infiltration.
Yeah there was a time when reddit was informative and redditors were generally smart, but the anti-theism and all the attendant hedonism and liberalism was a Jewish weapon that was always going to destroy the platform eventually. I mean, Ghislaine Maxwell is one of the most powerful powerusers in reddit history.
Yeah, dude, you, uh, proved about 50% of my point by yourself.
It wasn't the rejection of your religions that did it in. We had large (for the size of the platform) areligious and anti-religious communities for ages without it turning to slop.
It was the mass influx of normies that killed the platform. You can't survive as a conversation and logic oriented platform if you get a tsunami of users arriving who couldn't tell you how they would feel if they hadn't had breakfast that morning.
Powermods wouldn't have ever emerged if the sheep hadn't stampeded into the paddock.
Normies didn't metastasize New Atheism. The death of meaning, credential worship, and the use of the ideology as a Jewish battering ram, which were all completely predictable consequences of its evolution, did that. The only reason elevatorgate was such a big deal was because all the natural immunities to feminism had been dismantled, leaving you only the Jewish establishment's writings to grapple with male/female dynamics. The academy was hijacked a long time ago in a similar fashion, of course.
A "where are they now" of the leading lights of the movement handily demonstrates this.
Moreover, the establishment figures of reddit in the beginning are the same ones that destroyed the platform. IOW, they were always going to destroy it. For example, spez and Alex Ohanian are both co-founders. Ghislaine Maxwell was the first reddit user to break 1M karma.
Aaron Schwartz was the only guy that was potentially genuine enough to save reddit, but he's dead.

Oh look, it's the meme. Again.
