The quality of discussion on Reddit will also suffer. They may actually gain new users from all the media attention they've been getting, but I can already tell that some of the subreddits I frequented have seen some of the best members leave and more people more obsessed with fitting in / upvotes and trolls shitposting. It doesn't take much for a niche sub with, say, 5k users of which 200 are really engaged with the sub, to change for worse once those people start coming in.

Interesting. I’ll have to check these out. Had no idea these existed.

It's a pretty smart film in the context of when it was made and the political situation in the U.S. I remember when it was released a lot of people were pissed at it, it performed pretty poorly.

One of my favorite movies of all time. It's so creative and charming. It has aged very well, I think.

Saw Asteroid City last night. Liked it a lot but it's not my favorite Wes Anderson movie. It is, thought, the most Wes Anderson movie imaginable.

Yeah, I haven't used Windows in years (not much of a PC gamer, I mostly play on consoles until I got my SD) and the more I read about Windows 11 and the bloat and telemetry the more I hated it. But I'm impressed how much they managed to shrink it into Tiny11 and might be tempted to experiment with it on a virtual machine.

If I were to try Windows I would definitely go with one of those super optimized installs that are like 3-4 gigs. Unless that breaks some of the DirectX functionality for games?

Is performance really the same under Windows? How do the controller layouts work under Windows? I've been wondering if it would be worth it to try Windows for a few games that have issues with Proton.

Yeah it's insane how many people immediately jump to call you a liar when you post things like that. I guess the environment's been poisoned by all the people making up stuff for karma. The karma concept sounds great in theory but becomes toxic quickly.

Don't really know what the "best" experience was. I can't say there was anything life changing for me. It was nice to have access to so much stuff in a very well designed app (Apollo) that let me share that content super easily with friends and family via Whatsapp or Telegram.

Worst interactions? There were many...the groupthink can be real bad. There are a lot of people who take karma very seriously. There was one sub, dedicated to a podcast, and it was clear there was a person that had six or seven alts because of the language they used and the debate style, and they would get so upset and downvote any disagreeing comment. Other subs had plenty of trolling, transphobia, shitty moderators, etc. Other subs became basically unusable because of how large they got and how many people posted "hey, look at me!" low effort content. You know, "art I did of X character" with 2,600 upvotes for what was a 10th grader type drawing done on a notebook. That kind of kills the visibility of posts with the potential for deeper or more meaningful conversation that don't get as many upvotes.

In the end I think the main issue with Reddit is that it got too big. It attracted too many people on a superficial level, too many trolls, and most subs worth visiting at this point are dedicated to niche subjects and have smallish communities.
