I was a big Reddit user back in 2015/16 and also spent a lot of time in the NPR comments. Watching the insanity around the 2016 election in real time was an interesting experience. The mass suppression on Reddit and NPR shutting their comment section down was enough to form my opinion on this whole thing.

That being said, I've enjoyed it since the takeover. It still seems very similar to what it used to be, but feels very much like I'm seeing it from both ends now. For every crazy right leaning comment there are plenty of crazy leftists that counter, and vice versa.
