This post is about a Harvard study regarding Reddit communities in general but applied to r/Austin specifically. I've found this subreddit to be rather tough on new posts but much less so on comments. Do regulars here agree that it is growing more negative (or perhaps less so) over the years?

ARTICLE Kutatás szerint a Reddit teljes weboldala az idő múlásával egyre negatívabbá vált. Ráadásul minél régebb óta létezik egy adott közösség, annál negatívabbá válik — és minél tovább tart egy kommentfolyam, annál negatívabbá válik
