There I've said it. I used give out about certain things in this place but having had a proper lurk and a bit of casual posting there now with maybe a couple months the place is disturbingly toxic for the most part.
It's filled with toxic, disturbed little people of all persuasions. People with politics of all angles taking joy in people being shot or killed on all sides. Taking glee in doxxing people. Gangs of little gremlins calling for insert person/group to shot. Nutcases from the left and right calling for civil war in the US etc All these things getting thousands of upvotes, I hope it's bots but who knows.
It's **** mental.
There's a sub called fauxmoi on there and if it isn't bot infested it's user's need some sort of mental health intervention.
Then subreddits where it's total echo chambers if you don't post with their views, it's dissent and down voted or banned.
At least here while people maybe disagree once you are some way civil it can be debated.
I know theres a lots of little sub reddits if you stick to them it can be fun but as whole it's a left a sour taste in my mouth.
One thing I have wondered is, is it possible old school linear forums like boards will make a comeback to counter these type of echo chamber style discussion sites?
Am I the only one that feels this way?
