Deleted my account of 15 years with the quickness after the Spez AMA. Just didn't want to participate in that ecosystem anymore and saw the writing on the wall. I came to Reddit from Digg and never went back either.
The fediverse seems to be the future even with any inherent growing pains. I just can't trust one idiot to make decisions for everyone.
You mean that copy and paste effort didn’t make you want to put all the wind in Spez’ sails. I mean there were like 14 complete answers! Maybe not to the questions asked, but look how he put himself out there…
*heavy sarcasm flag for the statement above, sincerity for the one below.
And the attacks on the one dev, were repugnant.
I just find it so hard to believe this because I cannot imagine 99% of people caring to go through the sign-up process.
The sign up process will get easier.
The sign-up process is not even that bad. It's just an email saying, "hey, I wanna join. Will you let me" and done. Granted I told them a bit about myself, but it doesn't need to be much more complicated than what I just wrote.
good
I'm sorry, but that's just a ridiculous way to look at modern social media. Do you not want decent content?
i do want decent content
which is why the vast majority of reddit's current userbase is unwanted in my eyes.
Double edge sword, isn't it. There's a sweet spot that Reddit passed over a decade ago. I don't need endless memes and hot takes, or dopamine triggering feeds.
I'm hoping for a backlash to the TikTok-ification of everything.
Yea, reddit has been going to ahot for quite a while. Just deleted my 5 yr acc and am hoping that this becomes very good. So far its nice with a smaller community. Just gotta learn to be more active with comments and posts
