Just putting that out there. While we might have struggle sessions over bullshit, the larger internet zeitgeist is putrid and rancid.

    I think people are pretty combative here, viciously so sometimes.

    Not sure if I just somehow miss those threads but I rarely get people trying to pick fights with me here, whereas when I was on Reddit long ago almost every discussion was a fight. I guess I also don’t often get riled up about much here myself, though it does happen occasionally. This site really is pretty pleasant, for me at least.

      On most of reddit you can’t say anything, no matter how innocuous, without people trying to tear you down and argue about it. You could say “People need to breathe oxygen to survive” and you would get downvoted and argued with. The only thing reddit is good for is the threads about creepy experiences and glitches in the matrix, I still read reddit for that alone.
