    Based on observations of which subreddits are going dark/migrating and which ones are staying, IMO Reddit is about to swing hard toward conservative/fascist in the coming days/weeks.

    Today I’m undertaking the effort of moving all my persistent post content relating to my projects from Reddit elsewhere. I think in the mid-term future Reddit will be as bad a name to be associated with as Voat or 8chan.

      I’m thinking the same. I already nuked my 12 years of comments (I was a commenter, not a poster) and I’ll delete the account at the end of this month.

      Are you also getting the feeling that this was the intention the whole time? To “clean house” as it were and cause an exodus by certain people they deemed to be…freeloading…or not conducive to their future bottom line? Those who tend to have a negative impact (or drag) on their advertising and investor pools?

      Because that’s been my feeling all along.

    Just completely nuked my main and alts, 15 and 10 years, respectively. Tens of thousands of comments and several thousand posts have been wiped.
