Did I just have a very different Reddit experience to everyone else or is this a massive circle jerk?

    There was a lot of dog whistle racism is subs like r/publicfreakout

    Any community as large as Reddits is going to have a some arseholes but it largely depended on which sort of subs you were subscribed to.

    Fair, I never went on those subs and I'd imagine most Redditors didn't. I'd also imagine there are some Lemmy instances which are just as bad if not worse. I guess that's a bit different because federation means those communities are isolated from other instances, but I don't know if practically it's any different when it's so easy to have accounts across multiple instances. I'd imagine anyone using one of those highly isolated instances on Lemmy will have an account on another instance.

    No most redditors most definitely Loved those places. Top of r/All every day. Same with r/CrazyFVideos and r/trashy. IDK people say most redditors are bots

    4.6 million subscribers all time out of 1.7 billion monthly active users. Roughly the 90th most popular subreddit, which is quite large but it's still a fraction of a percent of users.

    There was and still is a shit ton of racism on Reddit, among other -ism hate.

    People like to hate on groups they deem “other” or less than. r/Freespeech is stuffed to the gills with transphobia and homophobia, for example. Anyone else remember r/FatPeopleHate? r/The_Donald hasn’t been gone that long. etc etc etc.
