I’ve never seen a company burn so much goodwill so fast and so unnecessarily.
Me too. Even though I would make new accounts regularly on Reddit, this feels different. A true tabula rasa moment. We will write the future!
And apparently that future starts with the word “Beans”.
Kbeans?
I am just irritated that Reddit decides to commit sudoku right after I hit 100k comment karma.
Fuck spez the twat.
It seems the somewhat community-oriented and non-evil impression many of had about Reddit Inc was a facade. Pretty much we didn’t realize how lame the ownership/management was because for the most part, they stayed out of everyone’s way. There were some clues over the years, though.
Personally I am really happy to have broken the habit of going there. The cliches and overdone jokes have been a bit much for a while. I still might look at it for things like city news, until the Lemmy communities get large enough. On the other hand, some subs I read a lot over the past few years had been driving me sort of nuts for a while with the same thing over and over again every month or two. Also, the same contentious opinion wars - you’d have the community agree on one point one week, and the next week or next day, totally different attitudes and consensus and voting depending on who randomly showed up and how the post/comments were voted on in the first few hours. Pretty sure my mental health has been improving over the past few weeks due to not being on reddit.
I deleted all my comment history before I deleted my account. 🔥
How do you do this? Do you know how to do a mass edit first so they can’t restore it?
Y’all are so dramatic lmao. Acting like this is a big life event. You went from looking at shitposts on one app to looking at shit posts on another.
Some of these young ones might not have been through a big social media migration before. If Reddit was the only way (or biggest way) they interacted with the internet then it would be a big life event to them.
They have to relearn how to search, verify facts (hah), find porn, and wonder if sarcasm works the same. Idk man let people enjoy their Reddit shit talking. I’m enjoying them shit talk.
