Reddit just feels dirty to me now, not in a good dirty way... Just dirty, I want nothing to do with it. I see no coming back from this even if the backlash leads to Reddit reversing the decisions. Kind of new the IPO would do something like this. Looking forward to seeing this place bloom.
We've all said for years that we've seen a slow decline but never knew when it was time to leave. Now all of a sudden here we have the giant sign saying "We've gone full corporate and don't care about the users anymore"
yeah this isn't such a huge thing on it's own (tough it is shitty), it's this combined with the years of other steady decline in a thousand small ways. Most people on reddit have agreed for some time now that the site has gone to shit, but there haven't really been viable alternatives or enough of a reason to pick up stakes and leave. Now there is, and hopefully enough people leave for good to Lemmy, Kbin, or others so that the change can stick
Amen.
