However, Reddit users fleeing because of the Pao’s team’s decision to shut down negative subs like r/fatpeoplehate might be disappointed. Users on Snapzu are telling new users that one of the main reasons they migrated was to “escape the hate.” One member, /u/MidasToren, doesn’t think this has anything to do with the site itself.
Reddit "refugee" here. Negative communities aren't really my thing. Negative comments or sentiments have their time and place, but I don't think they should be the focus of an entire tribe or subreddit.
Ditto. For me, subreddits like FPH and coontown were a source of shame for reddit. I get that these people will congregate no matter what, but I'd rather they didn't do it on a website I call my digital home.
Everyone deserves a place to congregate and speak their mind, but we also have the right to choose to avoid certain things. I'm hoping Snapzu will allow me to remain isolated from the denizens of certain offensively negative subreddits without sacrificing too much variety. I love discovering new things, even if only to find I'm not interested in them.
My thoughts, exactly! Welcome to Snapzu! I hope you won't be disappointed. Make yourself at home, and add to the community that which you yourself appreciate. :)
haha oh wow, that's a first, I posted that in a half-assed way too, I was going to add examples and whatnot but didn't want to put in that much effort for a simple opinion. Nice to know some people see the same patterns with communities as I do though, hopefully this one doesn't share the same fate.
Yes... in fact, it mentions that in the article:

I don't think I'll be disappointed.

So far so good, Snapzu!

Thank you! I'll be doing exactly that over the next few days.
Wonderful! I look forward to seeing you around. ;)
