[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 12 points 2 years ago (2 children) This must have flown right by me, but what was Reddit's attitude? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) There is at least an entire sub dedicated to hating on pit bulls. I think multiple subs. During its time a few years ago, one specific sub could make it to the top of r/all with 10,000+ upvotes. Reddit really doesn't like pit bulls. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) You're in for a treat, as Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik released a video last week, where he actually goes into those REddit dog subs.
