Bored, so I decided to have a look at my old Reddit comments. Hard to believe it’s almost been a year since rexxit.
It also made me remember how damn negative Reddit is. So many of my comments are either at 0, negative, or have a little controversial icon next to them. And the ones that aren’t (outside of the DT at least) are mostly just upvoted because I was being a dick to people who were getting downvoted.
Maybe I was just aligning myself with bad crowds, but that feels like it was a common theme on Reddit, I noticed it almost everywhere. Also their new web UI is disgusting and clunky and I don’t understand how anybody is able to use it
I was in most of the cat subs, as well as a bunch of snake and rat subs (cute animals tbh), and it still seemed like every second comment was someone being rude about something minor.
My hobby subs were even worse. I joined one of them in the early days before it became popular and got to “enjoy” the sub slowly become fuller and fuller of elitists. I ended up leaving because I don’t like the whole gatekeeping and anti beginner sentiment thing they had going on

The place reeks of negativity. Even when I go there to browse these days, I feel myself getting sucked into the void of shittiness.
choose nicer subs
I am in illegallysmolcats, lotrmemes and some hobby subs

Have you tried r/CatsStandingUp ? Many cat pictures and I can guarantee you won’t find any negative or nasty comments there.
I very seldom use Reddit these days
