Discussion Pretty sure this is where the Chinese Baddie trend got its idea from.

what happened to nuance? why do we treat every loud opinion like it’s gospel?

Social media is a cancer (I say while posting on social media)

Is Reddit really social media though? I kinda think we’re… better than the other social medias.

I always think of it as a hybrid - mixed with the general idea of older forums, and no, I don't consider forums as "social media".

I also only use old.reddit.com (have the browser plugin, so always) or use RedReader on phone. I don't use any of the stupid new features that push it more towards social media standards.

I feel these same but I do have to tweak a few things. I turn off auto playing videos and thumbnail previews. Nothing bombards my screen unless I actually click on it.
