The place reeks of negativity. Even when I go there to browse these days, I feel myself getting sucked into the void of shittiness.
choose nicer subs
I am in illegallysmolcats, lotrmemes and some hobby subs
I was in most of the cat subs, as well as a bunch of snake and rat subs (cute animals tbh), and it still seemed like every second comment was someone being rude about something minor.
My hobby subs were even worse. I joined one of them in the early days before it became popular and got to "enjoy" the sub slowly become fuller and fuller of elitists. I ended up leaving because I don't like the whole gatekeeping and anti beginner sentiment thing they had going on
Have you tried r/CatsStandingUp ? Many cat pictures and I can guarantee you won't find any negative or nasty comments there.
I very seldom use Reddit these days
