If anything, it’s growing and taking on a new audience. Reddit was semi-niche in the years before, and is now becoming mainstream.

I don’t think the article is AI, but I would be hilarious if it was an AI article written about an AI reddit post and the possible AI written comments on it

Yes absolutely. “Ironic” communities were visited by people who didn’t know they were ironic and took it as sincere. Too many people acquire their political opinions through shitposts “for the luls” and now we have conservatives cheering about how much of a “troll” Trump is when they should be concerned that our most important institutions are being dismantled to “own the libs”. No one takes anything serious anymore and I don’t think the solution to that is more absurdity.

It’s definitely really hard to replace my lighthearted subs, but I’ll take the actual sane discussion about news and fair moderation over that. Shit is too dire for me to get hung up on memes

Yep, that’s why I’m here now. If I ever use my Reddit account I just refuse to upvote anything at all
