/r/chapotraphouse created their own Reddit clone called Hexbear after they got banned. It's falling apart, half their devs and mods quit last night in disgust. Posters immediately assume a lack of good faith and jump immediately to the worst mindset possible in the person they’re debating with.

When reddit launched their site it was almost entirely bots masquerading as real people. To this day they still represent a significant amount of traffic there. I never even heard of this hex bs, probably 6 real people there and a bot swarm.

I joined reddit in 2005, and it was pretty great back then. Left for good in 2015 during the Pao! episode.

Saw somewhere the commies were banned from reddit, then started that site.

Damn, ten years there. That had to be a transition.

You got to know many people back then, kind of like here. No subs, just reddit on one page. Then waves of school kids started showing up around starting and ending semesters. The Digg invasion was the major shift, and it started becoming more retarded and commercial.
