I’ll start! There was a lot of absolutist rhetoric there that said things along the lines of “All Christians are terrible, horrible, no good, very bad people!” I think a little nuance is in order, no?

When I first started browsing r/atheism, 14+ years ago, it was far more insightful. Part of that was on me, because I wasn’t already familiar with a lot of the common concepts.
Even so, over time, the dialog became less productive, sometimes to the point of barely being able to be called “dialog.” There were far too many simple memes, black and white thinking, soundbite reasoning. As I aged, the demographic of reddit overall got younger, more cocksure.
Maybe that’s just something I’ll need to come to terms with anywhere, that I am older than the demographic of pretty much anywhere on the internet, but it would be nice to participate in conversations that bring new concepts to the table.
