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.
Mods slowly realized they could turn s sub into an echo chamber with no pushback. You could even say something in sub A and get banned in sub B for it.
Yeah that was crazy. There have been times where I’ve posted a comment in a sub and I’d get a notification that I’ve automatically been banned from some other sub.
There was a time where simply commenting in some subs lead other subs to automatically ban you. Even if you said in /r /somelameshit “wow, this sub sucks” another sub you never participated in at all would automatically ban your account.
