Yeah also their Discord/social situation is comically awful. Love the world though.

I’m used to this too.

I want to think it’s actually an anti-pattern; as we are seeing many Reddit people are deleting their accounts so searching Reddit might be less useful in the future.

Not sure what the alternative is though. Some of the communities I participate in went to Discord instead but that has search problems as well.

Caves of Qud probably. Been into it for awhile now — shockingly good classic roguelike experience in a crazy science fantasy world.

Especially as a gay guy, seeing massively upvoted posts of a woman holding basically anything (but she’s wearing a low-cut top!!!!!!) got pretty exhausting.

I made a post this morning that I didn't quite realize until afterwards was a "goodbye" post. I did get misty-eyed towards the end of writing it. :(

I think (hope?) this was the push I needed to get away from reddit.

Realistically I think a lot of its "free speech" policies were pretty bad and encouraged a lot of hate. They were extremely slow to moderate what I would consider really obvious abuse and dogwhistle communities.

Them getting rid of the app I use to browse Reddit the most was certainly the straw that broke the camel's back. But it hasn't been great for awhile imho. Why not go to something better?
