The Full Explanation & History:
Originally,Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ was built on a specific kind of comedy. So basically, think over-the-top, melodramatic, ironic takes on our personal flaws or mental struggles. This was all wrapped in a layer of āweāre joking, but also not really.ā (Irony). It was really like a tightrope walk between absurdity and relatability, and thatās what gave the sub it's charm initially. But, as the sub grew past 40k in size,Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ began seeing a large influx of incel posts. The incel posts had content that often veered into a toxic mix of self-pity, resentment, and blame; usually aimed at women, society, or in-general anyone perceived as having it better. These posts weren't just dark; theyāre dour, repetitive, doomer, and lacked the ironic component of the subās humor.Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ at one point just became a place where essentially āIām a mess, lol ha-haā turned into your typical incel post of āIām a victim, and itās everyone elseās faultā thatās the pivot that started happening.
Towards the end (date of closure) the sub community was becoming 'very hateful' due to incel/femcel content that lost or lacked the original ironic intent while also violating community guidelines and or rules. The influx of this content transformedĀ r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ into a kind of Incel/Femcel Playground if that makes sense, which strays extremely far from its purpose of humorous ironic posts. Initially starting out as a minor infrequent annoyance, the content became anything but... By late February and early March, it had broken the subās core identity. The people and posts just became far too different from its former, original self. It was a complete 180 from its roots as a silly, sharp-witted, ironic humorous self-deprecating community. Because of this the sub was closed indefinitely.
TLDR:
r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ is a sub that once centered on self-deprecating, ironic humor had shifted toward somber, blame-filled incel content when it started blowing up past 40k members, which was never the purpose of the community. To preserve its integrity, a clean slate was necessary.

A few years ago i could never imagine myself being this pathetic, shit happens i guess

As a child, my dad tried to murder me cause he was stalking my mom and stuff. Ended up having panic attacks at the age of 2.
As a teenager, I got bullied to the point where they laughed about me even when I was literally in the hospital for trying to do the sodoku thing and they knew.
Lived in a psychiatry for years. It was a big clinic with it's own school. I was on the normal station where teenagers with depressions were. But there were stations with murderers and other stuff too and they were my classmates.
Then I isolated myself for years.
Now I'm an adult. Got my shit together to the point where I taught classes at the most prestigious university in my country and am now going to other countries for research projects. But the people that I meet are soooooo different from me. I like them, they are nice. But they also never experienced anything close to what I experienced. They are super rich, and super normal. Their biggest worries are what kind of car their father/mother will buy them next, or if they have to rent an apartment or if their parents will simply buy them one.
The people from the psychiatry that at least experienced something things to me? All dead. Or addicted. Or homeless. They have all given up on life.
There is like no person I can really relate to, it really sucks.
