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.

Thank you for that link! Since everything is so new I appreciate finding out more about individual instances.

yw. It seems you can defederate lemmy instances, individual users, and communities all separately. Like I said, I’m still figuring it out, now between beers at a bbq on the 4th (USA here), and these idiots think I’m texting a girl on the sly, but I’m just furiously reading about the fediverse like I’m going to war there next week.
