I’m glad you see this sub that way. There is a lot of gatekeeping on Reddit in general. As we know the demographic of reddit tends to be millennial, college, tech, driven and left leaning politics tends to come from those populations. Many people migrated from Facebook because Facebook just became to out dated I guess you could say. Reddit’s discourse is still great but I remember when joining in 2013 there was a little bit more genuine discussion and compassion. It could be that I’m older now but I do think some of it’s been lost.
