I think this might be a massive gift to people who want the internet to remain free and unrestricted.
The more people you drive into the underground, the less well you’ll be able to regulate. Usually, it’s a cautionary tale about carelessly over-strict regulation. But, I guess it can also be an uplifting tale about carelessly over-strict regulation, depending on what you’re trying to regulate. Lord knows, we need to be teaching people how to dodge around local internet restrictions and monitoring right now.
Unfortunately most people don’t think like you and I. Reddit wants the masses to feed AI, and they’ll get them. They don’t care about the “fringe” elements. They want consensus. Hence, all the bans.
FFS, if we think reddit is bad, what about the billions still on FaceBook? I literally flinch if I land there on accident. FUCK! GAH! It’s repulsive to me, yet here we are.

If you make it to sterile it gets boring, if all the interesting stuff is elsewhere and all you have is meme slop you have no competitive advantage
Reddit has been meme slop since the IPO (and earlier) but it’s still chugging along with fools buying outfits for their little reddit alien thing
I don’t doubt it but there used to be great communities there. We need to build those elsewhere and without corpos in our way
I hope you’re right!
