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.
That’s a pretty good example. I remember there was a youtube video that discussed the sub when it got banned. This was years ago so I don’t remember who uploaded it. The guy discussed that (as a fat person), he didn’t like that it got banned. It was really easy for him to block the sub so he would never see that kind of content. Then when it got banned those people flooded out to everywhere else. The echochamber was actually somewhat effective in containing that group of people.
