For me personally, reddit seemed to get worse starting over 7 years ago, so by now I felt the experience was significantly worse than previous eras of reddit, even in smaller subs. But as much as I loved some BBS forums, I'd have to say Reddit was definitely better than them, so yea early 2010s reddit was probably the most fun I've had. Until now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] maegul@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 years ago My experience too. So often reddit would just attract a toxic or at least unattractive culture that would kill conversation and make threads unreadable. It seemed to get worse over time, though I didn't get serious about measuring that. Doesn't of course mean that there wasn't plenty of good stuff there or still isn't, but it, in recent times, felt diluted. permalink fedilink source parent
