Nerds/geeks have ascended.

It seems to me that more likely hipster culture has appropriate nerd/geek as an external skin.

Originally, the audience was more like today's Hacker News audience, but less focused on $$$

"normal" (young liberal) people

I don't think that's "normal." Wait a few years.

What racism is that?

"one quick downvote a few seconds after a post could derail any conversation"

Monarchist, nationalist, communitarian, traditionalist.

Reddit has become infested with the angry loser crowd.

It used to be the going-somewhere people.
