I saw the same. I was just about tempted to slide back and browse quickly on my lunch break, then I saw that and just noped out of there. This place is building up quickly and strongly enough that I probably won’t bother going back to reddit if he’s going to keep up with this nonsense; I don’t really need that sort of BS negativity.
It’s the one thing that all (or most of us, I guess) have in common; we’re all here because of what’s going on there. It’s natural to want to talk about it.
It’ll pass; I’m already seeing a lot of non-reddit content on my home feed now, whereas day 1 it was probably 95% posts of the sort you’re talking about.
