Reddit slowly became filled with hatelocked
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.

11 years for me. 2016 was when I made a fresh account with only niche hobby subs. Everything else just felt like it was swimming in Russian election interference and neo-nazi on-ramping. It all just turned so quickly I thought.
The Russia thing is overstated, the hatred and fear was inborn and whipped up by shadowy domestic forces (corporate money) not shadowy foreign ones. Occasionally a they collaborate too but ultimately it's all very American.
