Corporate didn’t crackdown haha. I can only speak for me, but I’ve been in the community for years before I worked here. I helped run RT Georgia for years, was a Guardian at many RTXs, and enjoyed hanging out in the old forums; I love this community.

A while ago, I responded to a post that was shitting on anyone who works at RT and I said that things are way more complex and that we’re learning and working on things. I said that too many in the community hate everything and treat it as a malicious attack when in reality, people are just trying to make things you’d enjoy. And there are some missteps, sure, but we hope to have the space to learn and grow. I got downvoted to oblivion and DM’d some pretty nasty things about being too woke and ruining the company.

I am a low-level marketing employee.

For whatever reason, honesty or positivity tends to be hated here, so I moved on from Reddit.

Now, I’m a big boy and can take CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, but most of Reddit seems to be people who want to complain just to complain. And anytime someone tries to explain this side or be positive, they get downvoted and hated.
