I’m not sure it was, unless you actively sought it out.

Lots of communities were nice and pleasant, with little to no animosity. The politics subs invite debate and discussion, so naturally argumentative people gravitate there. But most of Reddit was fun

Online discussions can be toxic anywhere. You don’t have to take part in a community and don’t have to be dragged into dramw. There’s always somewhere more welcoming.


The same individuals who benefit from Reddit as a training ground for AI also have a stake in Reddit. They are transferring money from one pocket to another.


You should just make new posts of unique content instead of ripping posts from Reddit. Recycled memes doesn’t make a community - interaction does


What would this achieve? Mods who’ve spent years building their communities aren’t going to hurt their reputation just so you can live out a fantasy of burning Reddit to the ground. We get it, it hurts to lose a community. But if you’re done with Reddit, post content here that makes this place better. For now at least, Reddit and Kbin/Lemmy will exist together. There’s not going to be a Diggesque switchover to this platform, there’s too many people who just don’t share our concerns, amongst other blockers. This is doubly so if the only unique content here is complaining about Reddit.

Basically, live and let live. Some people will find their way here in due time. Spez is doing a fine job of butchering Reddit himself. He doesn’t need help.


One completely out of touch ideologue praising another isn’t surprising but it is shocking how such incompetent people can land positions like this.

It’s not too late for Reddit to claw some of it’s reputation back, but this guy needs to step down for it to happen.


If you have to ask then you’re probably fighting a losing battle. I’d focus more energy on making kbin (or Lemmy) a viable alternative. Post content that people want to see. If you are a dev contribute to open source.

I’m sure the potential users who are on the fence would be more likely to move over if the platform was in the best shape it can be. It needs an actual community of users and content for that to happen.
