Funny how you can usually know which site a link is from based on how the title is worded.

> I disabled WiFi on the new Samsung fridge - HN

> What’s a sign of extremely low intelligence? - AskReddit

> Chinese government data shows domestic smartphone shipments fell 30% YoY to ~86M units in the first four months of 2022 amid the resurgence of COVID-19 in China - News/WSJ

Wow haven't been to reddit in ages, surprised it's so (subjectively) bad. Has it gotten worse or was I a fool before? It's cringeworthy

I think there are a few factors, but the biggest one I see is it's now so popular that every large sub has become an echochamber, you cannot disagree with the echochamber.

But, at the same time I think this has always been a problem, even 10 years ago the 'Reddit Hivemind' was a thing people spoke about. It's just worse now (because there are even more people using it, more bots reposting the same clickbait, more conglomeration of a few moderators owning several large subs)

The frontpage is pretty bad. In my experience smaller subreddits are still good quality. There's a reason why people add 'reddit' to their search queries after all.

I like it. It loads really fast and there's nothing extra - just AllTopLinks.com like it says on the can. BTW Probably a stupid question but what is the site with the logo that looks like a T with a hyphen/horizontal bar on top (T̄ or ₸)?

It looks like the logo for alltoplinks.com as it seems to be on any site where they haven't created or don't already have a logo matching their theme.

Yes, Reddit is getting worse ever since it became mainstream popular.

They've been pushing hard for growth as well, which I think is probably the single most devastating thing to an online community. There is some amount of growth that can be tolerated while maintaining a sense of community and common culture, but when the new members are pouring in by the thousands every day, that is no longer possible. Most participants will be strangers to each other.

What few subreddits have survived this are either incredibly niche, or aggressively working to make new members lurk before they post.

I think "common culture" is precisely the problem with reddit. Before reddit there were many different separate forums. Each had to be signed up to separately and each had their own culture. With reddit there's little barrier between reddits, which has lead to a shared culture across the whole site. The culture is generally friendly, but is immature and superficial. It's great for small-talk, but useless and frustrating if you actually want to learn something.

Maybe I'm bitter, but I used to really enjoy r/rust up until 2 years ago or so. Now it's completely inane and it's no longer worth the time to sort through the noise to find the signal.
