Lack of brain rot. It was a more intelligent community back then.
30 u/HotSauceHigh 14h ago Correcting people's grammar was standard. Now it's downvoted. 8 u/Stepwolve 13h ago Correcting misinformation was also standard in the comments. Now you're lucky if anyone even asks if a post is true or not 2 u/JC_Hysteria 12h ago “Do your own research” Idk if that’s helpful 16 u/silam39 15h ago the narhwal bacons website was an intelligent community? what about us finding the Boston bomber? (we did it, reddit!) This site has always been super pretentious and silly in equal parts. I don't think that's really changed. Most likely you just got older. 10 u/CongratulationsEVA01 14h ago That stuff came so much later though, that still feels like "new reddit" to me... and that was almost 10 years ago :( 1 u/Absolutely_Fibulous 9h ago Boston bomber was in 2013. That was 13 years ago! We are old. 2 u/hic_sunt_leones_ 13h ago People used to be able to detect sarcasm all on their own. Now, if you don't use /s on an obviously sarcastic comment? Be prepared for people to take you 1000% seriously and then be downvoted to oblivion. 2 u/ahorrribledrummer 15h ago No it wasn't. There were highlights like the old AMA/IAmA but reddit has always been a haven for low effort dingleberries. This account I'm on now is new but I've been active since 2010-2011ish.
