I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I've noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I've filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it's insane. I don't know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn't become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

we are not redditors anymore, we don’t belong there

This is something that became very clear to me when I made the mistake of going back for a visit yesterday and found a lot of that "fear, derision, doubt, apathy" in one of the last places I expected to find it. It was heartbreaking but did make it clear that we (or, at least, I) really do not belong there anymore.

It is time to help build something new.

The sense of despair over at reddit is something that once you see it, you can never unsee it. And it just permeates everything there.

In this crappy hyperconsumerist materialistic world where everything could be fake, we should understand that there are just somethings that's beyond all help, but we should all still try our best to help and save what we can.

Or put it more succulently:

"Life is plastic, it's fantastic."
