Yesterday it kinda hit me that the feed left a lot more “reddit-y” suddenly. More american politics for one.
There is a also aspecific thing that alerted me: Sudden appearance of this pattern plagueing reddit where a post about some bad muslim person escalates into edgy atheism which is also kinda racist and lowkey fascist in a very specific way.
I don’t have a lot of empiric evidence, just the vibe seems to have shifted.
A lower percentage of them are people on Reddit and unfortunately that percentage is dropping here also. (We have bots posting weird questions to the question communities for example)
Reddit is a decent measure of people on the Internet in general. At least, Western people. Asia has its own forums.
Reddit has abdorbed some of the most technical and the most stupid people there are. The most kind abd the most fascist. It’s a statistical inevitability for a jack-of-all-trades platform.
Sure, but I was referring to the “people” (user accounts) that literally are not people (human) because they are software instead.
