r/atheism was default sub? Things changed a lot when Reddit decided to grow.

An extraordinarily large number of accounts were made for the express intention of unsubscribing from it.

Honestly it got pretty low quality for a couple of years or so. It was a whole lot of memes and shitposting. Getting kicked from default status was a really good thing for that sub in the long run.

Atheism was fine until Elevatorgate. Since then it all went to shit.
For a while it was about supporting people who actually were in danger of being disowned or hurt if they "came out". Then people pointed out that women weren't being treated very well at conventions or online at all and atheists had a meltdown. I had to leave at that point, not what I was there for.

Yes, it was a huge pain. I didn't like the idea of having subreddits in the first place and this really reinforced it for me.
