I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

    I wasn’t specifically referring to “rage bait”, I was more so referring to the “chamber of anger” that OP mentioned. Navigating this site on the app I’m using is kind of buggy so it’s hard to switch from writing a comment to looking at posts quickly. Here, the second post that I looked at had a hateful comment upvoted to the top of the thread: https://kbin.social/m/politics@lemmy.world/t/134903/-/comment/532776

    Same type of comment that you’d see on Reddit, sad to see this place quickly turn so hateful.
