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.

people forget r/imgoingtohellforthis was a thing. Hate was always on reddit. It might have been disguised as something else, but it was there. Problem is its impossible to tell what's satire and whats actually objectionable. There was a tipping point where imgoingtohellforthis switched from satire to objective racism. Reddit started its downward decline the day that sub got banned. I dont endorse what they became, but banning them proved reddit was no longer as open as they claimed.
Also r/fatpeoplehate
That's a pretty good example. I remember there was a youtube video that discussed the sub when it got banned. This was years ago so I don't remember who uploaded it. The guy discussed that (as a fat person), he didn't like that it got banned. It was really easy for him to block the sub so he would never see that kind of content. Then when it got banned those people flooded out to everywhere else. The echochamber was actually somewhat effective in containing that group of people.
And that few year period when fatpeoplehate was a big subreddit. Or when Pao did something bad as CEO and got a much more personally violent reaction than spez has received lately.
Umm... and most of the Lemmy instances are nearly as open? For example, Lemmy.ml bans:
I've seen the mods over there lay a heavy hand at anyone who tries to talk about or discuss these topics.
Also, for good reasons, most of the mainstream Lemmy instances do not have any of the "rauchy" communities that Reddit has.
Was pretty easy to prove 2 is bullshit...

So I'm assuming 1 is as well
Quick edit:
Yeah, your post history makes it pretty obvious...
Complaining about "normies", calling everyone you disagree with "tankies", and complaining about how people won't date you...
Unfortunately in addition to people who choose to leave reddit, Lemmy also has the people ip banned from reddit
Perhaps they changed that rule. But I've seen it before. Just too lazy to link the post the mods over there ended up locking.
And also no need to judge people from their post history. Thought people were nice here? Guess I was wrong, this is the Internet after all.
Yeah, thats another huuuuuuge red flag. Getting upset that people judge you for your words/actions.
I wonder how many times people have linked this to you

I'm blocking you.
It works without telling someone.
Although if it wasn't already clear you were a troll, that would have done it.
Going through post history is what pisses on reddit do, damn that site sucks and this one is only OK so far
You make comments like this:

So it's not surprising you dont like people looking at your comments...
Can we cool down the arguing in this thread please? Everyone has had their say and it's time to move on. Thanks!
Oh god, the other primary Lemmy instance is run by tankies? Yikes.
The developers behind Lemmy are known tankies too. But they are not super vocal about it.
Lemmy is full of them. So far left, Marx is right.
Its kinda annoying, theres like three conservatives on here.
Wtf for real? Fucking tankies are already trying to take over this place.
