One thing that isn't being discussed much is the bubble of shame that has been building up around Reddit. For years, Redditors have been accused of being homophobic, misogynistic, incels, pedantic, predatory, etc because the Reddit administration kept tolerating edgelord 4Chan-style communities until the stink hit the mainstream media. See TikTok's "Average Redditor" account/meme. So every good poster still on Reddit has either been pushing against that stereotype or ok with it. For 14 years I was willing to stand up for Reddit as a fountain of information but that shame bubble has been hovering over me for at least ten. There's a new reason to be ashamed of using Reddit. If post a single comment after the blackout I will be a corporate bootlicker who is willing to tolerate good contributors being libeled in pursuit of a slightly higher IPO. So I'm out. The shame bubble burst when they took indefensible actions against the community. A huge chunk of the best contributors will be similarly affected.
