    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
