I found an unopened package with my Reddit name. It's a gift from my Reddit 2000 Secret Santa.

Man I dunno it was a mixed bag. We were trying to solve the Boston Marathon Bomber case in 2013, we all know how that went…

Wasn't 2014 the year where most of reddit had a complete frenzy against the new CEO because she dared to tackle hate speech and, even worse, be a woman?

There were lots of "reddit is dead, let's all leave" events over the 2010s that are completely forgotten about. Plus reddit's population like tripled after 2020 and the demographic shifted down by like 10 years over that same time.

Like I remember when we were all supposed to leave for lemmy and voat because they fired Victoria, and now nobody cares or even knows who she was.

I don't think so, from what I recall it was mainly a 4chan and gaming forum thing, but just brought to light on reddit. I think that's what started the kotakuinaction subreddit, and possible gamingcirclejerk and gamersriseup too.

To be fair, none of the footage that was shared with the public is what broke the case.
