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).

I left Digg for Reddit 10 years ago after the Digg 4.0 thing. But I havent used Reddit in years. I quit because i noticed a few site wide themes that seemed to be guaranteed:
the non political subs, including r/pics, r/memes, r/funny would also follow leftist narratives for content and comments.
any sub showing violence like r/justiceserved rejected any posts that showed black people as perpetrators
small niche subs: either stayed small and died with 1-2 posts a week at most, grew big enough for the rest of the reddit leftist hive mind to start their takeover, or shut down because the reddit hivemind couldnt control them.
The last good sub i remember was PCM [Political Compass Memes] which was a light hearted meme sub where everyone made fun of everyone including self depreciation. It too started down that road of being taken over by leftists once it became popular.
reddit is in no way an organically user driven content site. It doesnt have near the users they claim. And there is no coincidence that the site is organically lock-step in line with everything the media/left wants. Its full of bots, shills, JIDF, Chicoms, and grifters. A Chinese company, Tencent, injected $150M into Reddit in 2019, which came with a whole lot of stipulations. Reddit will never be independent after that.
