It’s always tempting to consider ‘the internet’ as a uniform group, but it’s a bunch of little groups smashed together.

Actually, watching meta commentary about reddit following the APIocolypse and other push factors is what cemented this for me. Comparing discussions here v. , say, Kiwi Farms (visiting their forum was enlightening for this purpose but otherwise a mistake), both groups generally agreed that reddit sucked, but for diametrically opposed reasons.

Reminded me a lot of the bunny-duck illusion - grossly oversimplifying, but one group saw a racist duck, the other saw a woke bunny, both said fuck that animal.
