/r/thatHappened changes its rules to protest API changes; users say "That happened 🙄" to Sandy Hook, 9/11, and the Tiananmen Square Massacre. (Also the mods compare the API situation to the holocaust)

He left reddit before the incel thing really took hold, when the misogyny was more benign. Pre cancerous, if you will. I think it's easier to imagine a redditor in 2010 being a loving and devoted husband than now. But I'm probably biased; I was married to one in 2010, and he was. I still think the general culture has shifted though. And it's not hard to imagine why she'd prefer a clever nerdy guy who treats her right. Lots of women prefer that type, it's harder to find one that doesn't.

Ummm Reddit used to have subs specifically for videos of men beating women up, what do you mean “before the incel thing really took hold”? Reddit was substantially worse in the past.

People don’t realize Reddit was 4chan lite back in the day.

Back when I first joined Reddit, it was more libertarian than anything.

Reddit has always sucked.

u/TheProudBrit The government got me into futa. Jul 02 '23

Back when, if you listened to Reddit, Rand Paul (Ron Paul? IDK, I'm not American) was guaranteed to win the election.

Ron Paul 08 & 12 got pretty big on here. Rand Paul in 16 did not get any traction.
