To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)

There’s also that weird “we’re better than people on Reddit” smugness.

It’s rare, but it is a unique brand of fuckery you don’t have to deal with over there.

Isn't the Reddit equivalent something along the lines of, "We're better than people on [social media]" smugness? Social media being a catchall for say, Facebook, Twitter, or in the past few years, TikTok.

It reminds me of the classic silliness of competing forums for the same subject/topic back in the day. "We on TechFans95 are so much better than people on TechFans94" and vice versa.
