Oh yes! They have a quite popular sub where people actively hate Taylor Swift. The sub’s mods remove your comments and threaten to ban you if you ask: “Guys, are you okay? Is this how you want to live your life?” I don’t care about her much, but this is so bizarre. Absolute madness.
Some subs are very negative. I remember antimlm was, as well, people spent all day mocking people who got involved in MLM schemes. I subbed for a while because my wife was in one, and I was hoping for help, advice, tips, etc., but it was all just mocking them and calling them “hon bots” or whatever the term was. I had to unsub, I don’t need that negativity in my life.
The hobby subs, on the other hand, always seemed extremely supportive, or at least the ones I was in were. For example, the radio control (cars, planes, boats, etc.) sub members were totally into it and totally supportive of whatever it was you were doing. It was inspiring and made me want to get back into the hobby. Those kinds of subs were the best part of reddit, and unfortunately we haven’t recreated that energy for things like that here - just not enough users.
No, they’re transitioning to different use bases that don’t give a shit when they’re screwed over.
Go to reddit now and it’s celebrity drama, pop music, and Indian sub reddit. Oh and Love Island.
And astroturfing AI-bots. So many bots.
