    Reddit could always be aggressive, and if you search up the OP it looks like they went into a passionate community and stirred it up.

    They didn’t deserve this level of vitriol or the lack of elucidation though. That’s definitely gotten worse over time. Part of why I left was how aggressively immature it had become, to the point where you couldn’t have normal conversations there anymore.

      Reddit has hit rock bottom. I was banned from a sub because their bot crawled thru my history and found I “interacted” with subs they didn’t like (subs like fauxmoi). I said the fit on this girl didn’t do her justice and was shadow banned and my post locked because the sub apparently didn’t allow criticism of any kind. And that’s what Reddit is now. Subs with power hungry mods and admins, Reddit staff not even giving a fuck anymore, all of it makes the place such a ridiculous silo that if you say anything out of line in any sub, it’s downvote and likely removal of content at this point.

      All the tech savvy people left (obviously) so now its edgy jokes and dumb suggestions. Call them out, and boom, downvote mob coming in hot.

      What a fall in such a short time.
