Honestly its for the best, redditors would be rude af and incel-like as well. It was annoying to dealing with those people every time there was a talk of relationships and gender rather than thinking also approaching about those topics with empathy, respect, kindness and critically as well. I'd like to think of this as a new start where all of us can learn from the mistakes that were made in Reddit and make this a better place for everyone.

I was thinking that too. Reddit is full of gasligjting and thinly veiled racism/sexism and bigotry... hundreds of comments piling on someone based on a one sided story or a video often ending in doxxing and harrassment.
