Yesterday it kinda hit me that the feed left a lot more “reddit-y” suddenly. More american politics for one.

There is a also aspecific thing that alerted me: Sudden appearance of this pattern plagueing reddit where a post about some bad muslim person escalates into edgy atheism which is also kinda racist and lowkey fascist in a very specific way.

I don’t have a lot of empiric evidence, just the vibe seems to have shifted.

    yeah you can block these people at least, but holy crap do they flood the zone.

    and if you do engage with them or criticize them, you’re ‘the enemy’. and no they aren’t rage-baiting, they are ‘showing people the truth of the evils of the bad people in the world’. and if you aren’t miserable, angry, and dumb like they are, you are the problem.
