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.
They still do, but they used to, too.
Reddits rules actually have an explicit exception allowing hate speech and long as it’s against the correct demography. Not too distant addition.
