This must have flown right by me, but what was Reddit's attitude?

There is at least an entire sub dedicated to hating on pit bulls. I think multiple subs. During its time a few years ago, one specific sub could make it to the top of r/all with 10,000+ upvotes.

Reddit really doesn't like pit bulls.

You're in for a treat, as Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik released a video last week, where he actually goes into those REddit dog subs. If you're unfamiliar with this channel, please know it's entirely satire, most of the time. Well worth a watch!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Yeah they're here too. I think there's a huge overlap in the demographics of reddit, this site, and really the entire Internet - white American dudes over ~35 . I've learned a lot about ~~these people~~ this demographic during my time on the web (mainly from places like reddit)

Dogs? Yes. Satan incarnates born to kill? No.
