Did anybody expect Reddit to become a better place after all what happened a couple of weeks ago? I was never a big Reddit user, but I'm sure as hell not going to be one in the future.

I was a big reddit user, with 2 small subreddits I started and managed, and I abandoned things and havent gone back.

Losing the addiction has been healthy. Going back is laughable.

Has there ever been an online community that improves over time? At best it seems they grow, then they’re doomed to either maintain at a certain level (like HN), or slowly slump into the melt and burn away.

Sort of a side question, but what is the state of the art in open source community hosting? I know a bit about tools like Zulip, but was thinking something more like forums. They feel very dated, which surprises me since Reddit seems a straightforward thing to compete against.

Reddit has gotten very aggressive about pushing random subs onto you. I’ve really come to loathe the phrase “Because you interacted with a similar community”. I have muted so many subs, I’m getting sick of the site.

Must be an app thing. I use https://old.reddit.com and don’t get that.
