I’ll start! There was a lot of absolutist rhetoric there that said things along the lines of “All Christians are terrible, horrible, no good, very bad people!” I think a little nuance is in order, no?

    I’ve never liked r/atheism because it just felt like it was mostly populated by teenaged edgelords that treated atheism like a subculture they were into at the moment. Pizza-cutter atheists, all edge and no point.
    Everyone else was butthurt and chronically angry. I’d like to see more activism, more community building, more maturity. Less butthurt.

      And a lot of it was driven by some past trauma or whatever. They go to r/atheism to vent, not to have honest conversations. Signal-to-noise ratio got pretty bad at times.

        I mean I understand the anger. I think every atheist deals with it at some point. But you gotta move on and let that shit go. I’m getting old now and it’s just tiresome. I’m not interested in tribal BS. I’m interested in chatting with folks who see the world through the same lens I do without that shitty sense of superiority so many atheists seem to have.
