Conversation

I've never been particularly active on reddit, but I really feel that site has been turning toxic so fast that even going there is just a frustration.

Outside of a few difficult to replace technical subreddits, I think I'm just going to drop it entirely.

Corporate social media was a mistake.

@scarlet Yeah, I really only use it for engaging in a very select handful of communities and even there it’s getting ridiculously toxic. Just a couple days ago I had people trying to invalidate me saying that Minecraft has no single “best” version because “You haven’t played for 14 years, your opinion doesn’t matter” despite the fact I never said I haven’t played the game at all in that time, just that I quit putting hundreds of hours in post 1.0

@thatgalsilver Honestly, I feel validated hearing your experience, because I've ran into similar things over there where I just sort of ended up stunned by the direction that people went - just being mean for its own sake.

I know the site is overran by bots, but there's such a human aspect to the meanness that I can't blame just the machines.

@thatgalsilver @scarlet never once had a constructive conversation on reddit. I don't know if people at large are just that horrible, or if the reddit environment does that to people, but they just suck.

I've seen other positive interactions there, but never to me.

@thatgalsilver @scarlet same, once people that objected to what Reddit did a few summers ago left, that left a concentrated pool of really Reddit™ people on there and... yeaaah ditto_yikes

I use it for exactly 1 voice-acting related subreddit and that's it (and really, I check back in every few months if that)
