Crack on Reddit I’m Done Anyways.

I was mainly a lurker on reddit with only occasional posting. But I’m done with it anyway now. Always felt a little uneasy as it was like the last social media ‘product’ i consumed after purging all other mainstream ones.

This latest drama has just shown the company management of a single website is making changes in view of its own profits. I thought i was a user but maybe I’m a customer. But have no interest in that. I’m free now.

Think I’ll float about the fediverse for a while. This is 1st post so might not actually work ha

    15 years in the bin :-\ but if i’m honest, i only liked the jerk reddits these days.

    the mains subs were soo big as to be useless, there were powerful unregulated networks of mods who ran like 40 - 50 subs… thats not at all healthy.

    actual content, although we miss it, was really thin.

    wont take a whole lot to replace it. i’m not a big poster, but i’m committed to trying to get this off the ground.

    as for reddit, it will survive for now. there are plenty of middle of the road uses to make money, plus, a lot of people will go back, sadly.

      Do you genuinely feel its time/effort in the bin?

      I know it will actually feel like a bereavement to some (not saying you specifically) but if it was all good at the time then was it not still worth it?

      I’m sure reddit will continue for now, but with a lot less of use
