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.
I came back here after a long time and i had the same feeling. I think has more to do with the level of the discussion at large nowadays, more than the platform itself.
