I've not been here long, but I'm curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

been here a month or so.

def seeing more abusive people show up, and nutcases who are spamming their ideological nonsense on every post who have think being first to post about their victim hood as misunderstood holders of THE TRUTH is some sort of relevant commentary and they are being oppressed by some other group of a different ideology.

this thread seems to be exhibit A.

also way more low quality shit posting and memes which i have to spend several minutes blocking each morning.

People like you show up and act like you have no ideology, that you're just a fully blank slate. You are the guest, you are bringing your ideology here. We've been around for years. We are just used to being in a minority ideology and having discourse about it, you have never seen ideology in the way that a fish has never seen water.

You're dead on about the low energy shitposting and memes tho

nah i'm just an asshole with a weird collection of opinions and viewpoints that don't fit into anyone neat little ideological camp.

one thing i cam sure of is that whatever views i have tend to piss everyone off, left, right, or center.
