The Reddit I was a member of was the Reddit of 2005 - 2014, warts and all
Once VC / major shareholders came in the writing was on the wall. It was a shell of its former self by the time I was actually banned. Death by a thousand cuts. Certain topics sidelined, discussions less nuanced and more reactionary, the front page increasingly santised and “ad friendly”. No more unpredictable truth, just bland banality, puns, bots and the hyper-offended. I fought it for a while then realised, Reddit had already died long before and this was a clear chance to move on
