But seriously, there was a point where you could say what you wanted on Reddit and at worst, your comment would get removed. Then “woke” went mainstream (i’ve been woke a long time before that) and Reddit mods became lords of their own little Barney Fife fiefdoms handing out permabans to anyone who gently questioned the popular consensus. I’m not sure what specifically changed, but it’s been downhill since then. I’m not so sure it hasn’t sucked longer than it was cool at this point.
