It is a shame. I spent almost a decade on Reddit and over the years I saw it devolve into madness.
I quickly learned no matter how much time and energy I spent trying to create a quality reply or post I was attacked, down voted and in some cases straight up banned for having a different opinion.
For example, I replied to a comment in the world news or politics subreddit that said “I disagree with you”. I was banned for trolling. Trolling! It was after that I just gave up all hope for having any kind of sane discourse online. I started with Usenet back in the 90s so I’ve seen the decline since then. I hate it.
