What I find interesting about Reddit is how the community overwhelmingly publicly writes about how inclusive they are and how important it is to be inclusive. Yet there are subs that frequently get to all whose main goal is to exclude and make fun of people such as FragileWhiteRedditor, inceltears, iamatotalpieceofshit, and TheRightCantMeme
- ryanwaggoner 6y agoThere is no Reddit community. Reddit is one of the largest and most popular sites on the web. There’s probably no subculture that isn’t represented there.
- ponsin 6y agoThat's like saying that there is no American culture because there are 328.2 million residence. I bet that if you swap the residence of Indonesia (273 million residence) with the residence of America, you will notice a lot of cultural differences.
- ryanwaggoner 6y agoI should have said "there is no singular Reddit community". Pedantic notes aside, the point is that it's the least surprising thing ever to find that some subreddits have one attitude towards $THING and other subreddits have a different attitude. The site has hundreds of millions of active users.
- MagnumOpus 6y agoReddit has an audience of tens of millions and is not a single hivemind. It could certainly be the case (and it is probably the case) that most subreddit communities strive to be inclusive -- while there are still hundreds of subreddits with tens of thousands of redditors which promote and endorse assholery and/or bigotry.
