That's a remarkably unfair characterization of people who have issues with Reddit.

That's pretty much the reality of it. The other group of users who have issues with Reddit (as we've seen yesterday) are the moderators; in particular the moderators of really large communities. Many others just seem to jump onto the bandwagon.

You don't have to think certain pseudo-religious thought patterns are bad in order to recognize that reddit has some serious problems.

The default communities are cesspools (consensus seems to be Reddit is better when they're unsubscribed)

The staff has no idea how to communicate with the userbase, a problem which has obviously gotten worse in the past few months.

The site hasn't seen a major upgrade in years and still regularly falls over under its own weight

The moderators of the defaults are all friends with each other and run each other's communities (++corruption)

Their current CEO has a questionable at best ethical history

Well how else are they supposed to push their political narrative that everyone is a sexist/racist? Don't you want a PC version of reddit where everyone constantly sits upon a moral high-horse of self righteousness while pushing authoritarian ideology under the guise of social justice?
