Absolutely. This place may be less active, but discussions have definitely been much more civil and constructive. So far, I haven't had any toxic reactions to any of my comments, whereas on reddit no matter what you write or however careful you write it, there would always be someone taking offense at it or being awful in the comments.
I don't mind discussion or disagreement, but on reddit this often means "bringing the other guy down" instead of making your own point.
As this started happening more and more throughout the years, I've often wondered if it was me, if I was so out of touch, but it turned out it was really the children (redditors) who were wrong.
I would like to know why, why is it that chill people came here and why most of the awful people stayed there
my personal hypothesis is that the empathic and constructive people are exactly the ones driven away by the money hungry deconstructing antics that reddit leadership currently display.
That's a great way to filter people in some way. I wonder for how long this will last. I'm not saying it can't be permanent but I'm sure at some point it will attract awful people
My farfetch hypothesis :
365 days x 30_000 (accounts / day)
= about 11 million accounts
So it could be bad in a year
