I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.
I generally do appreciate the high quality of the posts here. I give it five to seven years before it degrades but then we’ll have higher numbers of users and niche communities with higher quality of convo.
That’s the beauty of federation: if this place degrades, we’ll just go somewhere else that doesn’t federated with it.
