I know we pretty much all hated spez for all the shit he pulled, but a few weeks ago the tone towards reddit itself around here was more neutral. People liked it here on Lemmy a lot better, but people weren’t hating on the old place so much.

Recently I’m seeing this huuuuuuuge surge of just pure fucking hatred leveled at the site itself. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

I mean, I was there because I thought it was alright. I hated spez for fucking it up and completely screwing his communities over. But I never hated reddit itself, and I still don’t. Otherwise I would’ve left a lot sooner.

Do you personally hate reddit? If so, why?

      Not a word about “misgendering” my dude. For good measure here is the content policy as well. Please point out where you see this rule.

      It’s covered by this:

      not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people

      They deem any talk critical of gender ideology as an attack on marginalized or vulnerable groups of people.

      It’s also explicitly covered here on your link:

      Promoting Hate Based on Identity or Vulnerability

      It then lists “gender identity” as a protected class.

      Revveddit hasn’t worked since the API changes so no, I can’t see that. Please show me some examples you have since you make it sound so apparent.

      Damn, wasn’t aware of this since I just left reddit behind.

      Well the rule doesn’t exist so there’s nothing to answer.

      Classifying gender critical speech as “hate speech” for “attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people” exists, so answer the question please. Do you think that would be a democrat or republican application of the rule?

      If this is all happening and is as bad as you say it is, then let’s see some links! A single link even! You’ve provided no evidence so far. It’s just a feeling you have as far as I am concerned.

      If reveddit no longer works than that becomes pretty hard unfortunately. I do love how you’re acting like it’s a conspiracy theory that reddit is getting more and more left leaning though. It’s fact. Go create a burner account and go in to any article about gender or trans people in sport and comment something along the lines of “trans women are still biological males and should not be able to compete against biological females” and you’ll be banned, guaranteed.
