    I mean I get that this site has a hate boner for Reddit, but are we really going to look at platforms like Facebook/Meta, TikTok, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube and unironically say that Reddit is worse than all of those?

    Reddit is shit. All the others I listed are significantly shittier.

      I don’t disagree, they’re all bad. I think reddit stands somewhere in the middle, and it all depends on what you value. For me, the combination of the bot problem and the weird need to hunt people down and harass them was what made me leave. This is specifically what the video I posted is about. The videos title is a little hyperbolic but it was early and I didn’t feel like coming up with a new one, my apologies for the bad headline.

      majority of the userbase on this site isn’t the type to go for context, or history, or facts. let alone doing any comparative analysis of relative harms

      they prefer irrational obsession that blinds all reason and fact and really is just a avenue for expression rage and hate. then they blame it as a necessary response to the ‘other side’ or whatever issue they perceive themselves to be on the ‘right side’ of.
