What put me off Reddit was my perception that most of the very active users are toxic. Some of the users seem to enjoy bashing everything and anything that they slightly disagreed with and it has reached it’s tipping point for me. It seems to me that they are exceptionally lacking in personal development and critical thinking and it ruins what makes the platform great. I’m hoping this platform doesn’t end up that Reddit.
I absolutely agree that honestly most people on reddit are toxic, but I would extend that to twitter/x as well. What I think part of the problem is that they’re probably normalish people in real life, and let out some of their frustrations from real life they turn into literal trolls (not just the internet slang). I don’t know what to do with that information other than interactions on reddit and x are a lot less meaningful than one would assume since it’s all mainly fabricated ragebait
