Yeah, fair. I suppose I'm glossing over a lot of the bullshit because I didn't engage with that side of Reddit. I think some of these problems are just with society or the internet as a whole. There are some pretty bleak communities on Lemmy too, unfortunately. I think my problem is more that Reddit themselves have killed off what was good about the site while amplifying a lot of the worst (remaining) aspects in the pursuit of profit.

    Agree. At this point it's the the cons of every decision and none of the pros it used to have 😓 Like, you're still gonna run into a shitton of sexism and racism because they'll never get banned as long as they don't say an actual slur... but also you can get auto-banned by AI for making a sarcastic joke. It's gotten harder to hold onto a community and moderate it effectively, but there's still a ton of mod squatters ruining what used to be decent communities. And so on.
