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 problem is not site-specific. Any website that becomes a hub for real information will be targeted by disinformation trolls. It’s how the fascists keep the ignorants chanting “both sides!”
Its either the fascists, or people trying to make money from tribalism.
