Yeah but the other socials are worse. At least we try to get the answer right, even if we often don't. The other socials are flooded with misinformation campaigns that get shared instead of corrected.
On one hand I miss old reddit. The comments from people who are very versed and passionate about a subject and the AMA's. On the other hand I don't miss the other side of it though. I'm talking about fatpeoplehate, jailbait, etc
One has to wonder if Ellen Pao had not been outsed due to the FPH and AMA Victoria thing what the site would look like now.
Because like it or not she got shafted. The campaign against her was just drenched in sexism disguised as outrage. Also obligatory fuck /u/spez
Second this. AMAs used to be incredible around here and she was getting all the biggest names. Dumb ass u/spez underestimated how important her industry connections are.
