Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics. (lemmy.world)

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

I feel like political discourse didn't start on Reddit until after subreddits were added

Haha, no. There's a reason /r/Atheism was one of the default subs. All that Ron Paul didn't come out of nowhere.

They say Atheism is to having a religion in the same way that not having a car is the same as having a car.

The same cannot be said of r/Atheism, the most dogmatic place on the whole fucking internet.

Big '/r/Politics is just like /r/Conservative!!!' energy.

Shut.
