A platform without ads or evil corpo ownership? Yeah, I'd scared too.

Even "new atheism" is really not fairly put alongside child porn or racism.

Not the movement, the people on reddit. I think they were comparing their behavior.

That still seems outrageous to compare a smug new atheist to someone who posts child porn

Ok so I don’t want to go to bat too much for an opinion I was mostly speculating on (since that person never clarified), but the atheist community on reddit was a lot worse than just smug pricks back then. Serious sexism, racism, defense of gay marriage but tons of homophobia, etc. This is what I assume the comment OP was talking about.
