Remember, the first real big explosion in users came from when reddit restricted its API. So, by definition, a bunch of angsty users resistant to change and intolerant of opposing viewpoints.
During that original exodus, people remarked how friendly and tolerant and how people were willing to have constructive debate here. In reality, they were all united under their intolerance and hate for reddit.
Your point is that people who left a platform because it made decisions they disagreed with don’t like it anymore? Shocking
Reddit is still the best place to go for a lot of niche communities you can’t really find anywhere else. That doesn’t change the fact that it has a lot of issues that stem from both the community culture there and the C-suite execs calling the shots, making it worse at every turn in pursuit of profit.
You’ll find I have similar opinions of most large social media companies. I just don’t talk about them as much because they were never appealing to me in the first place. Reddit had its problems dating wayy back but I enjoyed it for what it offered. You gotta draw the line somewhere, and I drew mine at the API shenanigans

Reddit should be hated and not tolerated tho??
Thanks for proving my point.
