It’s hard to put my finger on the exact problems but it feels worse than the typical decline of large subs.
This thread posted today in response to the protest shows a lot of what I mean: https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/14cbtjv/who_here_is_in_favor_of_just_replacing_these_shit/
Mob mentality, selfishness, scapegoating, lack of critical thinking… It’s just so toxic compared to where it was even a year ago.
I’m excited at the prospect of building a more positive, welcoming place here to discuss the NBA.
Years ago it was what /r/NBADiscussion was at it’s best. More in depth analysis and people actually caring about the game along with cool things like the 3 point shooting challenge, the playoff mascot art, etc. Now it’s 95% the drama, don’t get me wrong trade season is fun but it feels like most of that sub doesn’t even like to watch basketball.
