I know it sounded stupid in hindsight, but hey at least it got the ball rolling on asking the question if reddit was really worth going back to after all this blew over (of course, we know the answer to that already)

Nice, makes me wanna bring this up in a future convo for people to wtf at lmao
Think a large part of it is context driven and what kind of community it is. I know in more serious threads, more helpful information was usually upvoted. But I get you, Reddit (the default subreddits especially) got too big for its own good and became the muddied groupthink mess it is today, and I definitely agree that those kinds of comments add nothing to a discussion. I suppose one kind of solution here would be to implement the boosting system like they have at kbin and have that as some "helpful/insightful" button, but I don't think people in general would agree to one standard just like that. They're more likely going to keep doing what they're used to, and that's the voting system. Not sure how to really tackle the problem myself 😅
I know what you’re saying, but I feel like it does both tbh
Nice, we're already getting OC
stonks only go up
Ah yes, the prison yard aesthetic... ~~lookin' good~~
That's right, we hold our shit in! 😤
The end of an era. RiF was a goto for me back when I was on Android. Really liked using the compact mode to digest things quickly. As another commenter said, it felt like a proper enhancement of old.reddit. I wish the dev well for whatever future is in store for him.
That's pretty insightful. Kinda knew that businesses don't want to post profits but never really knew their reasonings or the implications. Thank you for spelling it out.
...normal or "hey, it's all good because we said so"?
...as for me, I'm kinda getting a kick out of all this chaos
