I have been on reddit for about 8 years. At one time, it was a small friendly place where people could share cool stories and even help each other out on occasion. That is why I loved it. Lately, I have been disgusted by the amount of nonsense and hate on reddit. Even before this happened, if you browsed r/all, the majority of the top posts were memes, snapchats, instagrams and hate posts. I am a strong supporter of free speech and I disagree with the recent bans, but the fact that people were so angry and have retaliated by posting more and more hate let me know that it was time to leave. So, I hope all of the redditors I have seen around here lately are not the same people who posted in places like r/fatpeoplehate.
