It’s hard to put my finger on the exact problems but it feels worse than the typical decline of large subs.
This thread posted today in response to the protest shows a lot of what I mean: https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/14cbtjv/who_here_is_in_favor_of_just_replacing_these_shit/
Mob mentality, selfishness, scapegoating, lack of critical thinking… It’s just so toxic compared to where it was even a year ago.
I’m excited at the prospect of building a more positive, welcoming place here to discuss the NBA.
I used Reddit for ~12 years and I saw it constantly. Most of my favorite subreddits are a shadow of what they used to be 5-10 years ago; I don’t think I realized how soulless everything there feels until I started using the Fediverse.
