I'm not too timid, I just don't know enough about the other places on the internet or the behind the scenes on Reddit to say much conclusively

Why should I defend reddit? It was a shithole that only got worse as time went on

At some point I intentionally stopped going and interacting with the darker sides of reddit to protect my own sanity, though. So yes, I was effectively siloed from it. But I'm not shocked, far from it

It's not behind the scenes when the most popular subreddits were such things as "c*ntown". It didn't get better or worse. It's always been a nazi shithole. Those weren't the dark cornerse of the site it was the top results on Google back when it was a thing to show it. Those subreddit could regularly be seen on r/all.

This meta is what I'm talking about. People talking like none of that existed or it was too obscure for anyone to have known.
