Reddit hitting me with a permaban for an arbitrary reason was a strong factor. I was getting tired of how toxic the site was anyway, so, eh we’re good.
All I was getting on Reddit were toxic Star Wars fans who would shit on me for either liking something they didn’t or disliking something they liked, as if Fandom was a rigid set of instructions that compelled you only to like the things the Zeitgeist approved of… and all the “Reddit Atheists”
Now I have nothing against atheists, the existence of God is far more open to debate than something like the shape of the Earth.
However, Reddit Atheists are a different breed. I’m talking about the people who have unironically created a religion out of bashing religion. The “I pray to science every day! Hear the good word of Sam Harris! Lock up people who pray in insane asylums!” type. The kind who say Sky Daddy so often that those two words together make you sick.
Again, nothing against Atheists (My opinions on the validity of the supernatural are rather inconsistent, so let’s say I’m Agnostic at best.), but every group, let me repeat, EVERY GROUP has its nutters who take it to absurd extremes you never before thought possible. Reddit had a lot this specific kind of crazy.
Which is my way of saying, militant atheists are children making a religion out of bashing people with points of view they don’t like (kinda reminds me of bible beating Christians and I’m sure they would loathe the comparison). And I too find them annoying as fuck.
On Reddit they got so toxic and insulting that I tried to report them for harassment, apparently being called a “Christofascist” (when you’re not even a Christian to begin with) doesn’t count…
It’s what eventually got me banned, they reported me for “Report Abuse” and Reddit just didn’t wanna answer my appeal, happy accident because Lemmy’s a much better community.
