>It just used to be deviantart/gaia online /live journal/tumblr
These were also for more specific things. You would tell someone to go back to gaia if they were being an entry level weeb that you would see at a highschool with an invader zim backpack or something, and the live journal/tumblr things are more from an era when /v/ was angry about feminists because they were trying to tell developers what they are allowed to put in games, but this is before newfags just started to hate feminists for being feminists and started getting angry at developers and trying to tell them what they are allowed to put into games. The current issue with newfags and reddit is that it doesn't mean anything anymore, they will call literally anything reddit for any reason. Its bordering on schizo shit where people will just imagine that all the REAL people from 4chan agree with them and think their opinions are cool and based, and everyone that disagrees with them and doesn't like their opinions MUST be from reddit. All this "um, cringe thats very reddit of you" shit does is turn 4chan more into reddit than anything by allowing people to try and reinforce reddit style groupthink and echo chambers but through negative reinforcement rather than positive reinforcement.
There is literally nothing "reddit" about a T-Rex on a course in Mario Kart, but that anon doesn't like it so he must call it reddit to try and stop the other anon from feeling okay talking about it.
Ultimately, what I'm saying is that anyone trying to shut down open discussion and honesty on 4chan is more ""reddit"" than reddit itself. If there is anything that should go back, its this attitude that you are only allowed to have certain opinions or views on 4chan when one of the most appealing aspects of 4chan is that everyone can be honest.
