Reddit

     In the Endless Thread podcast episode "Turning Hate on the Internet into Humor," the hosts talks about how some people deal with mean comments online by turning them into jokes. One of the people they speak with is Shirin Najafi, a writer who received hate mail after writing an article. Instead of getting upset, she made fun of the people who sent it by writing a funny piece called, "An Open Letter to the Men Who Told Me to Smile" on McSweeney's. Her humor has helped her to feel more in control and connect with others who have had the same experience. 

    They also talk about a subreddit called r/TwoXChromosomes, where women talk about their lives, often including times they've been treated unfairly. It's a space where people support each other and sometimes respond to serious things with humor to cope.

Another part of the episode mentions r/RoastMe, where people post pictures of themselves and invite others to roast them with jokes. It shows how people can take control of the joke and laugh at themselves, which can be really empowering.

Overall, this episode showed me that Reddit isn't just a place for arguments and negativity, but it can also be a good place where people use humor to fight back, support each other, and even make something good out of a bad situation.
