There’s so much negativity and fighting and shit talking in the comments over there. It’s like some people have a personal goal of making others look stupid in comparison to themselves and they just try as hard as possible to rub it in if they know something you don’t.
I really feel like the latest Unity migration brought over a bunch of chuds because the three Unity subs were like that before I switched to Godot. That subreddit is literally the only reason I still visit the site at all at this point and I’m just about done with it.
I was hoping more people would end up here, but this place isn’t nearly as active. I do plan on posting more when I make some more progress in my own projects, but I personally don’t have a whole lot to share right now.
Everytime i revisit reddit for any reason I’m blown away by how toxic everything has gotten.
I do hope communities here pick up more. I had a fairly successful Mastodon post gathering up Godot devs. If you’re also on there, you might follow some of these folks and cross post questions/announcements there. Using #godot on Masto helps a lot with discoverability as well.

It’s the enshittification. When you enshitify a social media platform, expect the users to enshittify right alongside it.
For another example, look no further than xXx_twiTter_xXx.
“Twitter has been infested with bots and people who post like bots”
I make the permanent jump from reddit after being banned from the last place I gave a shit about for anti-white racism… on their discord. Didn’t help that all the posts on the front page were outright nazi outrage bait full with jerking off fantasies of “law and order” punishments. I made the call that I would rather stare at a wall than stay on that site. I would be equally entertained anyway and way happier off that way.
