  • Your point is that people who left a platform because it made decisions they disagreed with don’t like it anymore? Shocking

    Reddit is still the best place to go for a lot of niche communities you can’t really find anywhere else. That doesn’t change the fact that it has a lot of issues that stem from both the community culture there and the C-suite execs calling the shots, making it worse at every turn in pursuit of profit.

    You’ll find I have similar opinions of most large social media companies. I just don’t talk about them as much because they were never appealing to me in the first place. Reddit had its problems dating wayy back but I enjoyed it for what it offered. You gotta draw the line somewhere, and I drew mine at the API shenanigans

    I had someone essentially accuse me of purity testing and doing “leftist infighting” for calling this shit out (“guy I don’t like = cocksucker”). Like uh sure there’s bigger problems we have to worry about right now but that doesn’t mean what you’re doing is ok either. These guys claim to be such allies, but are practically allergic to a simple “hey please don’t do that it’s kind of bigoted even though it’s attacking a bad person”
