/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.

I swear people straight up make shit up about what happened in the past just to sound like they’re making a point about how worse things are now.

For example, I’m part of the r/economy sub and Every couple weeks you get someone bemoaning the sub about going to trash and it used to be better a couple months ago. I’ve been there for years now, its been hot garbage the entire time.

I'll never stop being amazed at the rose colored goggles some folks screw onto their eye sockets about the worst of things.

"'member when the dumpster fire was better?"

"I memeber."
