Yeah, me neither. My favorite wholesome subs were /r/the_donald, /r/altright and /r/fatpeoplehate.

Lol ok. Well I saw numerous examples of transphobic, homophobic, antisemitic, anti-black, and other sorts of bigoted comments in default subs. Good for you that you somehow managed to avoid all that ugliness.

For the communities I participated in, I usually hung out in /new, not /rising. There was absolutely hate speech going on: the troll and influencer accounts also hung out in /new, trying to get their comments in early enough to be read by anyone else entering the thread. It's particularly noticable late at night, when more of the US is asleep and more of Asia / Russia is awake.
