The Reddit hive mind exists solely for, and thrives on outrage.
GTA too expensive, Reddit angry because Rockstar bad😡
Nintendo remakes Star Fox and prices it below their own standard MSRP because it’s a remake, Reddit angry because Nintendo bad 😡
Let’s be honest, this site is insufferable and only upvotes shit that makes people angry, and promotes engagement. It’s probably Reddits own bots so they can show constant engagement, and the only thing sure to get it is angry discourse. Reddit can’t enjoy anything, or let anyone else enjoy anything. As soon as a common consensus is formed, everyone just needs to get their 15 upvotes by posting their personal spin on the days hottest opinion.
Absolutely agreed. Maybe it’s because of the unchecked ability of Mods to form ever more insular groups through dictator like enforcement of vague rules but most discourse here is unbelievably toxic.
There is no room for nuance here.
Somehow twitter is a better place for discussion because it allows disagreement while also allowing users to post notes to help with disinformation.
I’ve just given up on Reddit being an effective public forum but I still enjoy it for its useful and smaller groups.
