I’m genuinely curious what reddit has to do to finally kill the site, cause apparently the remaining userbase is impervious to the concepts of standards, usability and quality of life
It really does seem like there’s a mentally debilitating FOMO or “Stranded Japanese soldier on an island” situation going on with people who use reddit outside of porn
I mean ironically enough, covid did kill reddit, or at least covid was the cover that allowed reddit admin to basically empty the site of anyone who wasn’t a neocon, NATO-loving, destiny-esque, neoliberal ghoul
2020 killed the site, after that year the only organic subs left were a couple sports and porn subs
Network effect. It’s reached a certain size and has a momentum of its own that makes challenging it difficult because everyone else and the answers and answerers are all on reddit not on the alternatives.

A lot of people still use Facebook. They will never leave these monopoly platforms until they are destroyed by a worker’s state.
To be fair, most of those Facebook users are boomers and they have a doctor’s note in the form of lifelong lead poisoning
The trust fund millennials of reddit have no excuse
Facebook and instagram are the two social medias most used by young activists where i live lol
If lead is an excuse then so are microplastics and long covid
wait, we have evidence of microplastics having biological effect?
I don’t know tbh

And lead if you are eating cinnamon
How much of said user base is just bots talking to themselves at this point?
50% bots, 50% smug libs
There’s gotta be like 5% frothing fash from just the r/(city) subs alone.
I hate my cities sub they’re always thirsting for the blood of the unhoused

goes to prove how far the slogan i-don’t-do-politics will go.
It’s still usable if you’re on old reddit and exclusively stick to subreddits you’ve joined. For now, anyway
