I think losing the ability to lurk in active communities of people I disagree with politically. I would never engage as it didn't seem right, especially down/upvoting, but It was always interesting to see things from the other perspective.
So places like r/tories, r/conservative, r/prolife, r/liberalgunowners - as a guy from the UK a lot of the subjects discussed in a few of those didn't affect me but I always prefer seeing things from both sides (even if I would never agree with them)
oh for sure, I was a member of the_donald and MGTOW (which was an incel sub). Absolutely didn't agree with either sub but it was fascinating—and especially scary—to see the communities evolve and introduce their own slang etc.
They're here, but they're even worse because they are filled with people who thought reddit was too progressive.
Reddit of 2013 or Reddit of 2023?
