    Not that it’s not confirmation bias but I can confirm what you’re seeing.

    They lost a lot of active, enthusiastic, altruistic friendly people. I don’t think they’ve drawn in worse people, but there are less nice voices to balance out the vitriol. Under the circumstances there’s also less downvoting toxicity.

    I’m pretty sure it’s a real thing but how much it’s felt probably varies community by community.

      I also wonder if the combination of losing modding tools and mods being treated like garbage by reddit made them less enthusiastic about doing their (unpaid) job, too.
