    wasn’t really a great indicator if your opinion was popular or not, it was more if it got that groups niche.

    … That’s called popular opinion lol.

    Of course it matters where you say something. It’s literally no different than IRL.

      If I’m on Reddit it’s to Reddit, it’s not to change my vocabulary and content to fit each individual subreddits niche.

      Imagine being in a country bar and a table only wants to talk about and listen to rap music. The rest of the place shouldn’t have to bend to their will or create some safe place for them.

        There’s an old saying to “read the room”. It’s the same online and offline. The reaction you get depends entirely on the audience present.

          Reading the room is about the tone you set, not the words you say.

          People just don’t like hearing that they’re wrong, or that popular opinion is wrong. Questioning themselves makes people uncomfortable.

              And the words you say are dictated by others potential opinions on what you said and the tone you said it

          Yes, and Reddit as a whole should be the audience, not the Emos in the corner…
