Helium

Low effort posts and low effort comments in every thread. It was to the point where Reddit felt like call and response to me.

Also, there was no way to contribute to the posts on the front page because they were overloaded with comments. There was always an arms race on who got the top comment on a post that had the potential to get a lot of traction— which means the quippiest comments were always the first.

It’s intellectual junk food.

Just wondering how long it takes til Reddit strips mods and forcibly reopens certain protesting subs

Comcast is a truly rotten company. Like without fail they continue to impress me on their new clever ways of misleading customers. Like remember “10G” from earlier this year…?

I really don’t see the protests as a failure. You give Reddit, inc. an opportunity to compromise with the community and they show that they won’t budge an inch (or, more accurately, they CAN’T due to VC pressure)

We learned what Reddit has become, and now we work towards building a future proofed community somewhere else. As long as the Fediverse has activity I will be prioritizing my time here. These little things have big ramifcations for years in the future, where we will see more enshittification and more draconian privacy laws in various countries and states.

I see what’s happening here as a success.

No worries, Reddit – I’m fine with where I’m at atm too :)
