holy hell is it toxic compared to here

I cannot agree more! I went to reddit (wirhour an acc) and just... wow. Did it got worse or was I always blind to how awful that place was?

I think you are seeing some withdrawal symptoms honestly. People are addicted to scrolling for their next dopamine hit. When that's taken away they get cranky. Add the anonymous nature of being online and things get toxic real fast.

I think you are exacly right.

Cranky

is the best word to describe it and your explanation as to the reasons sounds reasonable. I believe that people will also get more frustrated when they notice less quality posts and comments...

I was IP banned from Reddit so I only got to use it without an account for the last few months. It's very toxic. The front page (not logged in) is so fucked.

I don't miss Reddit.

How'd you manage to get IP banned??

Oddly enough, the same thing happened to my partner. She logged out one day, and then she suddenly could never log in ageing on that acct. Then, she could not log in to a new acct more than twice before it got removed. She tried 4 it 5. Her only comment was saying that she loved the colour of something.

We are stayng away from reddit now lol
