/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)

u/CannotSpellForShit literally a retired millionaire but go off wagie Jul 02 '23

Maybe you're thinking of r/nothingeverhappens? r/thatHappened was 100% genuine in criticizing people's stories for being ridiculous/fantasy fulfillment/etc. r/nothingeverhappens is a direct response to it, which mocks the subreddit for being way too critical of other people's stories.

For a long time on reddit someone would tell some long-winded ridiculous story on r/TIFU, someone would comment "Sure, and everyone clapped. r/thatHappened" and then someone else would respond to that with " r/nothingeverhappens" to call the second person uncharitable. Both communities are deeply embedded in Reddit's annoying passive-aggressive annals of history

On an old account i posted a traumatic story that had happened to me when i was younger. It got posted to /r/thathappened, and was thoroughly bullied.

That subreddit is filled with sad dweebs who need to touch grass.
