Reddits culture has become so…tiring. My interaction dropped significantly in recent years and more often than not I delete my comments as I’m typing them because I already know the response.
It leans very heavily towards snark and very rarely towards empathy or interacting as though there’s actually a human on the other side of the screen.
And yeah, that’s exhausting. It takes very little effort to not be mean to strangers, but it seems like an impossibility for so many people online these days.
There was this procedure we developed in trollxchrm sub where we would create an alt for no other reason to absorb negative votes in the main subs when calling out the flagrant misogyny. That was it. That is all it took to be a troll on reddit. Simply defending a minority. The fragility of the average redditor is real.
