Yes, same here. Let's just QUIT using Reddit. Enough is enough. If we tolerate corrupt behavior, we support corrupt behavior. And quite honestly, it's become such a pile of trash, anyway. Also, it's become so obvious that submissions and comments are being manipulated and pushed by tons of bots and industry interests, it's just a bad joke at this point.
Frankly, I love old Reddit.

> Uh, reddit already won what exactly? The right to do whatever they want and still keep the communities and content with pretty much no impact on their bottom line thereafter. > How does going public have anything to do with success for a company like this? It's a way to raise capital and compensate insiders, nothing special You raise capital if investors believe in the direction the company is heading. They're bett…
For today. Even Facebook is in decline. Online platforms don't last forever.
Little actually is entirely gone, someone snatches it when the price gets low enough.
Whether they grow themselves to the point they buy others or are bought is a distinction without a difference in this case. Their DNA exists in myriad ways, and even if they survived and weren't bought few few online companies are the same a decade later.

Around 2 years ago I got incorrectly banned site wide for 3 days for "ban evasion". Haven't used it ever since (except through google searches). There's no downside to leaving reddit really.
We were told that the boycotts last year were the end of reddit, or at least a substantial brain drain. Reddit was going to be a lawless wasteland because no mod would accept tending the garden anymore. Reddit is now a public company with a CEO that just got a huge compensation package while mods still work for free. Far from lawless, far from being a wasteland. Even the hacker community is still using reddit despite…
It's been a while that VPNs were blocked on the main website. But I have noticed this since a week that old.reddit.com subdomain has been included. The next step for Reddit would be a complete Login wall like Instagram and co. I would be happy if they do, because it will save my time more (like twitter).

Reddit is such a toxic hole anyway. It's all posturing, stupid cutesy language, and victim mindset. I'm so glad the site got awful as the content - we're all better off without.
Good Ukrainian War info, though

What is the alternative? lemmy and mastodon are protocols, what specific site with high engagement and good (not over zealous) moderation is worth checking out? HN is nice to lurk but you really gotta be a conformist. It all just feels like tribal bubbles. It really is making me appreciate free speech, I prefer the days when horrible people were allowed platform/reach. The state of society right now (not just on the…
Free thinking is perfectly well possible without Reddit, in our very society. Unless you have some really weird thoughts? Rubbing these thoughts in other peoples faces may not be viable, but it has never been, as far as I recall. And I'm glad for it.
