There are a few subreddits I check out from time to time because Lemmy doesn’t have the volume of users required to keep those niche conversations active.
Wow, what a pain! There’s so much hostility and byzantine rules. It’s just not worth it.

I recently finished season 2 of One-Punch Man and I looked to see if there were any announcements about a season 3. I came across a reddit thread about season 3 being announced and holy shit are people nuts. The animation of OPM season 2 wasn’t as good as season 1, but it wasn’t actually bad; it just wasn’t as good as season 1. However, the reddit thread would make you think it was animated by preschoolers.
To be frank, that’s not a trait exclusive to Reddit - it’s a common characteristic of many (most) online fan communities.
My pet theory is that it’s a result of the community members spending excessive amounts of time analyzing the minutia of their interest. From there, a combination of nostalgia and the tendency of people to focus on flaws creates a perfect environment for negativity to flourish.
Personally, I’ve tried to do my part to push back against that trend in the spaces I favor, but it’s not easy.
This comment is so refreshing to see. I thought I was going crazy for enjoying season 2 and thinking that the animation wasn’t bad.
Season 2 started really poorly but it got better during the season
I should revisit it then. I found the first couple episodes kinda boring and just didn’t continue. Loved the first season.
