    Yeah. Shit is really going down on reddit right now. Spez is trying to paint this as “power hungry mods are closing down your favourite subs. Let admins control reddit more and we’ll stop the power mods”. Sadly, it really seems to be working for a lot of people. Classic tactic of the ruling class turning people against one another to distract while they fuck people over. Its like the iq of the average redditor dropped over night.

      That’ll happen when the oldest part of the userbase emigrates.

      Tons of shills and astroturfers too in every community, basically repeating the same talking points over and over. And then they’ve got doomgloomers who are trying to convince people that it’s pointless. And now lately you have the most insidious assholes, the ones that tell moderators to “protest” by not moderating. That last one is hilarious because if you stop moderating a community, Reddit WILL give it to someone else or ban it.

      Either way, this place is nice a cozy compared to Reddit, it’s like in the old days. I’m loving it.

      Most of those people will realize in a few months… the people posting content of value left, and came here.

      And, reddit will become a cesspool like never seen before.
