  • Low effort posts and low effort comments in every thread. It was to the point where Reddit felt like call and response to me.

    Also, there was no way to contribute to the posts on the front page because they were overloaded with comments. There was always an arms race on who got the top comment on a post that had the potential to get a lot of traction— which means the quippiest comments were always the first.

    It’s intellectual junk food.







  • Yep! Reddit won’t die. It is becoming (and in some ways has been for some time) one of a very limited number of sites that the majority of the interconnected globe uses to exchange information, like Facebook. Even if it loses .5% of its current userbase to some alternative, it’s barely a drop in the bucket to Reddit, but that number is HUGE if it’s mostly dorks like us setting up a new home here in the Fediverse.

    It’s a win-win; we want quality discussion here. Your average modern Reddit user wants the information drip. (And I should say, it’s entirely possible to be someone who uses both during this transition phase)
