I know, I know, reddit sucks ass. I’ve been using firefox with ublock to read the best ofs for the unquenchable need for bullshit drama in my life.
But now it’s not just a pop up saying to use the app, but a full ass unpassable thing. Old Reddit still works, but that’s just another step for something that’s already so not worthwhile.
Welp…
Anyone else still there? Hopefully they stay there if they’re trolls and trilobites (I don’t know what that means in this context)
I’m not like actively there but an example, for me, is that I just watched the Hateful Eight and thought it’d be nice to see what others said about it and the main links were Reddit and they hard pushed me to the app. All the other links had ads that actively blocked me from reading the article.
I watched the parody version. The ridiculous 6.
I thought you were making a joke – holy shit it’s real.
I thought they were both sorta parodies of the magnificent seven / seven samurai?
And its a good movie too.
reddit is useful for niches, but not for news, politics(includes any sub that is remotely political) discussion, it just get people too argumentative. like looking at people experiences with dentists in your area, how much it costs and other things.
I mod my city’s subreddit and Colonial Williamsburg. And that’s it.
No one in my real life left reddit. Reddit and Facebook are the only ones with active communities for many of my games and interests. I avoid it, but yes, it’s quite active and is now the only relevant search result on recent news and strategies.
That’s sad news. Its a simple decision. Just stop going to reddit.
I never used reddit until one day. And then I stopped sometime later. It may sound ridiculous but its as simple as just logging out and starting a new elsewhere.
Yeah. I deleted my account during the API fiasco. I stopped surfing there entirely. I guess there’s also Discord communities that cover gaming bases too, but I struggle with that UI/organizer presentation when it comes to trying to find the right place for the info I need. So take your pick: Facebook, reddit, discord. They’re all apparently on the same slippery slope. Classic forums are dead (and no doubt the photo bucket debacle of 2017 pushed that).
But the cool thing is my life get suddenly busier around the same time I kicked reddit, and now I just don’t have that kind of time to get into hobbies deep enough to really need those places. Cool. [sad trombone sounds]
true, since i cant login/or have an account due thier purges, i scroll through various subs usually non-political ones. ive seen people on public transports have thier phones out, its mostly reddit, tiktok .
