I don’t understand how that’s supposed to work, you’d have to have posted some bad takes, and even if you did, “hey I made the wrong call based off what I believed at the time, I now understand where I was misled” isn’t going to turn anyone against you.
It really only affects people who don’t stand behind their words.
exactly. I wonder sometimes at comments. People seem to have limited experience with other people here, and are overly optimistic about how reasonable and kind people are… they are not. especially not in a social media setting.
Some of it too is differing audiences/communities. You might tell a joke in front of your poker bros that you wouldn’t tell in front of your kids … and there’s nothing wrong with that.
The option to hide post history here would be nice, but the culture here isn’t one that encourages users to dig through each others post history anyway.
speak for yourself. been here two years and i have had multiple people stalk my history and quote me about shit i said in unrelated communities to prove how ‘evil’ i was. shit’s wild.
almost always out of context, but when you are a hammer everything looks like nails.
I had mine hidden because you say one controversial thing in the wrong community and they’re digging for dirt in comments from years ago.

This would never work. It actually would 100% lead to being mass downvoted. Not just reddit, but here too.

and for some folks the fact you pay poker or have kids make you irredeemably horrible person.
