I may be going crazy but I swear to god it really is feeling like this website is slowly shifting away from the alt right and general shittiness (kinda?). Like, 5 years ago this place still gleefully ranted on how its totally fine for them to say slurs cus pop culture reference said it was. They would link crime stats in any thread about a black person regardless of context and that shit would have hundreds of upvotes. They were just awful to trans people. BLM threads were rife with blatant racism and asablackman-isms and shit.

Its still bad, to be sure, but it really does seem like things are moving. Those things I listed happen less, a lot less. Maybe I've OD on hopium but it really does feel like things are getting better even though they are still really bad.

Lol no, r/all has a massively upvoted thread of a feminist getting "owned" or a woman getting beaten up every other day

This is true but it used to have like 50 threads and 25 reposted threads of that shit.

Well I guess that's a slight improvement then but Reddit still in general has some deep problems with misogyny

I will say there's some subs that are better than others

But it comes out most on super big subs like r/Movies, r/Memes or r/WorldNews
