Relatively neutral subs like r/publicfreakout are now packed with chuds and the only left-leaning subs that survived the purge have tons of libs and/or very little activity. I know reddit always sucked but it seems to have gotten much worse.

    2015-early 2016 was crazy in terms of how hard right reddit shfited, I wonder how 2020 stacks up to that, to be honest I still think late 2015 was way worse

      for sure, the whole ellen pao related misogyny and fallout from the gamergate bullshit from incels was absolutely batshit insane

      y'all remember the comments on r/worldnews? Around 2015-early 2016 they were fucking horrifying. I remember pretty much every article describing a tragedy having comments being filled with bloodlust and people posting about "failed integration" due to "cultural differences". Those same differences were never ever ever expunded upon, and it was just mostly concluded that "those people" were inferior for some odd reason.

        the charlie hebdo shooting along with the rise of pewdiepie really pushed a lot of people on the cusp of fash tendencies to being full blown ethnostate boosters. it was insane.
