    It was good. Long long ago. Entertaining. Infuriating. Educational. For the most part civil.

    Now its mostly swamp. it’s the trump era turd swamp. It’s more a cesspool - swamps are great places - trumpville cesspool.

    Ending anonymity is 180° out from its starting point. Taken over by corporate it’s like everything else they ‘buy’ - for their profit.

      Reddit is now so far away from what made it great in the beginning that it really isn’t even the same site. It just sucks now.

        its facebook 2.0, just havnt fully become its clone yet. is suspect the next step is eliminating OLD reddit with a few months for logged in users. and then require Facial recognition and valid DL too.

      Steve was always going to fuck it up. I recall a incident where he thought it would be cute to directly edit a comment in the database, bypassing the indicator that a comment had been edited after the fact. He never had any kind of good sense.

      Fuck reddit and fuck Steve Huffman.

        You are downvoted now for what used to be standard reddit etiquette. That site lost its entire identity. 2 days ago they rolled out age verification in some European countries. So, I naturallt redacted all my posts and comments and left.

          They’ll put it back. I did that too and deleted the account, go look now and it’s all there. Oddly they left the last things which were very critical so I doubt they even looked at what was there.

        he apparently idolizes Musk, so thats whats he aiming for. thats why there have been so many purges, because of musk telling spez to suppress dissent.
