    Just a few years ago you weren’t downvoted just because someone disagreed with your opinion.

    Lol what? What year did you join Reddit? As someone who’s been there since 2008, I promise you that this is nothing new.

      Not sure what year but the culture definitely changed somewhere around 2008-2016. A big part was trump of course, but before that the rise in android and iphone and becoming more popular to a broader segment of the public (e.g. “boomers”). Before it was tech enthusiasts all on desktop PC. This was also before toxic gamer culture.

      If you don’t think it changed you must have trauma induced amnesia.
