Reddit isn’t really a place for discussion. It’s a place you go to have a specific opinion or get banned. You choose the “room” with your opinions and express only those in the instructed method on the sidebar. Any dissonant opinions, facts or arguments and you’re banned. So really, more like a place for agreement if anything (or disagreement of the opposite view, but only that and no other disagreement).
Yeah. Popular subs always had this issue but some subs were ok before all the mods left and only the ill tempered ones remained after the apk changes. The infamous “power mods” that fit the quintessential reddit mod stereotype.
I am happy with lemmy for now though. You’re free to say something unpopular and it’s fine. You get downvoted sometimes, but at least you’re not silenced because your opinion goes against the grain.
