Ima miss /r/perth, but honestly even without the current API nonsense I've been uncomfortable with reddit's trajectory for a while.

I'm subscribed to aussie zone but its also pretty quiet.

I enjoy browsing /r/perth every now and then but I just get a weird feeling from it. Not about bots specifically, its just everyone is so... salty? About either politics, bad drivers, housing.

Lol, i think i just replied to a message from you yesterday on there! :)

True, i's actually talking about Reddit comment sections more generally than r/Perth. But true, it was every couple of weeks a rant about bad drivers would appear. I suppose for the same reason as why radio phone-in hosts always use it as a topic. An easy driver of viewer/listener engagement.

I'm enjoying reading the complaining about mortgages and rent prices though. Feels like a common undercurrent of frustration and anger that permeates us normies.

Its so common. But thats because its a problem that people know isn't being addressed properly. All we're getting is 'Supply side' slogans that don't address the underlying issues. Anyway, i could rant about it for ages also, 😂

I do hear that mortgage interest rates changing should not be affecting rent price changes
