I kind of always knew believing reddit was some kind of pure platform basically required being a stereotypical Californian but its declined so heavily in the last 10 years.

Its the number of clearly stupid replies you get now that really irritates me, from people who've very clearly not read or understood what you've said. It used to be a place where the average user seemed to be a PHD looking for cat pictures

I wrote that and now I'm imagining being required to take an exam to join a subreddit. Stupid idea but it would probably restore that sort of tone.

I think it's because some people are naturally calm and considerate, instead of seeking rage-bait.

I think this isn't learned behavior, or something you can change through education/exams. This is just how some people are. I guess it has something to do with being intellectual/Taoist/gnostic, whatever you call it. I think this is just because a lot of people here are technically inclined, have AuDHD, or something similar.

Apart from that, i guess lots of ragebait, advertisement, and "preferring user numbers over quality content" is why reddit (and many other platforms) are taking this course. Let's make sure that the Fediverse stays a place that is ad-free, and turn rage-bait to a minimum.

^This... and my ax (am I doing it "right"?) It's human nature and we'll do it again here unless we remain vigilant against the trend.
