I made an offhanded joke comment on Reddit a very long time ago and it exploded, triggering a chain reaction ultimately causing tons of drama among some of the biggest powerusers of the site, resulting in some leaving (or making new accounts.)
I don’t wanna doxx myself or I’d get more specific, but I saw the main power-user in a game like 12 years later, and told him who I was… he just said “you RUINED ME!”jokingly, and we chatted a bunch. Unfortunately, he died shortly after that interaction. Rest in Peace, my funny old-reddit guy.

Holy shit. How did you feel?
Oh I had no idea how to feel!

Blimey it must have been chaos, social media can get very dramatic. I feel for you
How could a joke lead to all that?
