Reddit slowly became filled with hate - Lemmy.world

I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

It wasn’t just Reddit. The entire world has become more hateful and more violently aggressive. I mean, even just wearing the wrong colored hat or having the wrong skin color is enough to get you literally killed anywhere you go. Nowadays it seems like everyone is competing in the Oppression Olympics.

just wearing the wrong colored hat or having the wrong skin color

the first thing is something what you can easily change and when wearing it, you're telling everyone who you really are, the second thing is something you get born with.

I was accused of being a Trump supporter and subsequently harrassed because I wore a red baseball cap, which had a baseball team logo on it, home from a baseball game that the team was playing in.

My point in mentioning both is that it such a stupid thing to get upset over (color of clothing), equally as stupid as being upset about someone else’s skin color. People that do either are clowns.

Ah, sorry then. That's indeed overreaction. I thought it was an actual MAGA hat.
