I originally joined Reddit in 2011, and in the beginning it was dominated by cat content. It was rare to see a post about dogs. Sometime in the mid 20-teens this phenomenon reversed. It’s always been a “pet theory” of mine that this reversal was due to Reddit becoming mainstream, and that it’s initial nerdy/techie user base preferred cats to dogs.
I think my theory is further supported by Lemmy. It’s pretty clear that most of Lemmy’s user base are techies, and currently it’s dominated by cat content. Just a shower thought. May be wrong.
NOTE: I love dogs and cats. This post isn’t arguing favoritism.
I love my doggo. She is adorable and loving.
Wife had two cats. Combining the animal families is… still a work in progress. Kitties are growing to like me more though, one actively seeks me for cuddles now!
Your dog looked like it had two teeth tearing into your flesh with blood. Had to zoom in to see it was a tongue.
Lmao same. I was taken aback for a bit.
I saw that at first too, but then I looked closer.
What a cute <3 btw awesome username
My dog grew up around my cats so even though he’s a hunting dog, a hound mix, he’s very friendly to cats
Samoyeds are so effin cute.
