The comments were delusionally disparate from reality for a long time before that.

Reddit always leant left, but pre... idk, 2014 you could imagine the conversations you read on there occurring with someone you might conceivably meet in real life, even if they would be a bit of an outlier.

After that, no chance - everyone on there had the personality of a delusionally dug-in activist, the type of person you'd instinctively flee from if you met on the street. And the level of bullying you'd encounter if you went against 'the narrative' went up by a huge factor, as in, instant bans in just about every subreddit, 'if you're not on this side of the issue you're supporting genocide, this is a fact not an opinion' type of interactions. Then reddit updated their blocking system so that blocking someone cut _them_ off from contributing further, which basically made every user a mini-moderator, which was (and is) of course massively abused.

The place is long overdue to go under; offlining it would remove about 50% of the overall negativity from the internet, and considering it's such a small space compared with FB/Twitter that's really saying something.

I question the credibility of people that use broad hyperbolic generalizations like this.

I am definitely incredible.

Ah yes, the leftists who posted in fatpeoplehate, jailbait, theDonald, and all the gamergate subs.
