I also noticed that the site has become more and more negative and sour over the years.

Yeah, the only places I've really enjoyed engaging in comment threads are the smaller subreddits. Big ones are frustrating and tiresome at best, actively abrasive at worst.

Perhaps the massive fragmentation that we're starting to see in the Fediverse could be a blessing in disguise, keeping instances from becoming "too big."

That's Huffman, though, he's getting more negative and sour with every interview. over the last two weeks. The one with the The Verge is revealing of a bitter and reflexively defensive mindset. He's ready to sell all that data to train AI/Skynet and grab his golden parachute. No one's getting in his way, not even own marketing VP on the Verge phone call.
