    Reddit was founded on free speech and open discourse, especially when it was really uncomfortable

    Early Reddit was just a bunch of nerds circlejerking over shitty memes. The biggest discourse was when a woman dared to criticize a vibeo game, and there was no discourse considering everyone agreed women = bad. There was no “uncomfortable” or “open discourse” on Reddit in the first couple years, and the free speech was the freedom to post cp. Only pedos want to bring back early Reddit.

      When I discovered reddit, I thought it was great. That's because I have only ever used it as a link aggregator, no comments for me please thank you.

        The best part about reddit was never The Community, it was the fact that you could find a ton of niche communities in one place that would answer questions you had.
