How often do y’all still use Reddit? If you don’t use it anymore or rarely use it what was the final straw? I used it pretty frequently up until the summer of love when it seemed every subreddit had to turn into a discussion on race with zero disagreements. Compound that with moderators being mad if someone said “this is a subreddit about babes all cards, why are we talking about this?” Of course covid nonsense started shortly after. I don’t get ont it very much anymore outside of the Skyrim subreddit and very rarely sports (the Dallas Cowboys and even Hockey subreddits went crazy).

Closed a bunch of subreddits for wrongthink and .win was born. I find it demoralizing that people prioritize their scroooling interests and habits in continuing to use these sites that actively work to undermine and suffocate everything we believe in.
But Reddit sounds like a good idea. I guess I’ve learned anything can be a platform for left wing garbage. I never thought I’d get a lecture about racism on a baseball card forum
Reddit exists to gaslight you on politics by consensus cracking subjects in a highly controlled environment. The interests that the individual subs focus on are just a lure, excuse, or incentive on your end to get you into that controlled environment. Reddit makes jack squat from labeled ads in the age of third party apps and adblockers, they make their real revenue as a cesspit of favor-finance and have been forever, even before the original owner and his business model & company mission statements were all suicided.
Just my personal understanding of course.
