The biggest PC gaming subreddit [r/rpcgaming] has blacklisted X for being 'hateful' and 'toxic', citing Elon Musk's 'distasteful' behavior (www.pcgamer.com)

Lmao what happened? I only ever had good experiences on those subs but then again I haven’t used Reddit in a few years

Nintendo subreddit would occasionally seem to have Nintendo supporters jump on someone who said something critical about Nintendo, and also anti-Nintendo people who'd jump on people who said positive things about consumer-unfriendly things (like enjoying the NSO emulated games).

I also had a thread where people attacked me for being a pirate when I first got my Switch used because I was asking how to check if it was console-banned before linking my Nintendo account to it, lol

As for Animal Crossing, I had multiple people tell me to kill myself (or that they hoped I die) when I made puns based on typos in low-effort post titles, or when I poked fun at posts whose only content was a picture of the game running on a Switch against a scenic background.

I'm not saying I was necessarily the good guy there, and I don't care about downvotes or sarcastic replies, but when people were negative in those subs, they were downright vicious, lol

I was more shocked at the juxtaposition than actually offended, and the mods did a good job cleaning that stuff up when I reported it. But truthfully, the sub went downhill after the first year or two of ACNH. Probably when it went from mostly hardcore players to casuals, haha
