I had mine hidden because you say one controversialthing in the wrong community and they’re digging for dirt in comments from years ago.

I don’t understand how that’s supposed to work, you’d have to have posted some bad takes, and even if you did, “hey I made the wrong call based off what I believed at the time, I now understand where I was misled” isn’t going to turn anyone against you.

It really only affects people who don’t stand behind their words.

“hey I made the wrong call based off what I believed at the time, I now understand where I was misled”

This would never work. It actually would, 100% lead to being mass downvoted. Not just reddit, but here too.
