It’s been going downhill for a while but I feel it’s gotten exponentially worse. Someone made a post under “insane facebook people” which had a picture of a sign on a hospital patient’s door that said “please knock before entering I wear a veil”. I said “you have to cover your face or Mohammed will smite you!” (which is literally the reason they do it) and the mod perma-banned me for violating a “rule”. I called them a power hungry loser and said it was clearly a sarcastic comment…and they responded by calling me a Republican (which confuses the hell out of me) and blocked me from responding to them for 3 days.

Someone else posted in the New York City thread saying “inflation is out of control, this place wants $15 for a bacon, egg and cheese!” and everyone there was supporting the place that charged $15. Any comment OP made was immediately downvoted to hell, regardless of the content.

People were calling someone from a story posted a “pedophile” in another sub because they found an adult (18 years old) attractive. When someone else was like “umm a pedophile is someone that’s attracted to pre-pubescent children…” everyone was just like “shut up pedo! You just want to fuck kids!”.

Everyone seems to have a hair trigger, is insane, or loves to rage-bait/troll just for the fun of it.

    my guy you can’t waltz into the hornet’s nest with a baseball bat and then complain when you get stung.

    the only winning move is not to play. just shut up, delete your reddit account and walk away.

      After being on there pretty much every day for 5 years (boring job) it’s a hard habit to break.
