Crack on Reddit I’m Done Anyways.
I was mainly a lurker on reddit with only occasional posting. But I’m done with it anyway now. Always felt a little uneasy as it was like the last social media ‘product’ i consumed after purging all other mainstream ones.
This latest drama has just shown the company management of a single website is making changes in view of its own profits. I thought i was a user but maybe I’m a customer. But have no interest in that. I’m free now.
Think I’ll float about the fediverse for a while. This is 1st post so might not actually work ha
I knew Reddit was heading in a crap direction since they launched the whole new layout/design. Then the ads started creeping in more and more, then I noticed when they added social media account integration into personal profiles and don’t even get me started with the NFT avatars. It’s become a steaming pile. It makes me sad to see what’s happened. I met my partner on there just over 3 years ago and now we live together! So I will always be thankful for that, but I’m done with that site.
When they added following profiles. I know it’s normal for twitter or whatever but in reddit it felt stalkerish.
Not all bad then! But yeah its a just company running a website now (with lots of essential free dedicated labour). What ever is was before it isn’t now
