Anyone else feel /r/nba has nose-dived in content and user quality in the past year or so? (self.nba)

It's hard to put my finger on the exact problems but it feels worse than the typical decline of large subs.

This thread posted today in response to the protest shows a lot of what I mean: https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/14cbtjv/who_here_is_in_favor_of_just_replacing_these_shit/

Mob mentality, selfishness, scapegoating, lack of critical thinking... It's just so toxic compared to where it was even a year ago.

I'm excited at the prospect of building a more positive, welcoming place here to discuss the NBA.

It's because the barrier of entry to accessing Reddit just became lower and lower. Right now you'll have quality discussions on here because all of us have to go out of our way and be tech literate enough to get on lemmy. I'm a firm believer that the magic of the old internet was because of the technical hurdles you had to cross to get on. It was an effective filter.

Hadn't really considered that but it's a great point. And Lemmy definitely provides a hurdle, even if it's only the perception and not the reality (this really wasn't that hard)
