I've been on Reddit from the beginning, and absolutely nothing I said contradicts me believing it was very politics/programming heavy from the start. Like I said, Reddit at the time believed there was too much politics/programming, and that's why they created subreddits.

You're putting words in my mouth and then being condescending. That's why you got downvoted and flagged (not by me, for the record).

You can look me up on Reddit; I use the same name (which happens to be my real name) on both. I created the r/sanfrancisco subreddit (among others) and my cake day is within the first year of Reddit's launch.
