The CEO is a total scumbag and Apollo closing down.
I actually left Reddit in early 2022, I’m not from the latest migration wave. I left for a combination of these reasons, the first of which is the main one:
- algorithmic feed designed to arise strong emotions, often negative
- snark and noise in the comments
- ads
- impenetrable moderation rules that often make it difficult to figure why a post is rejected, even after carefully reading all the sub’s guidelines and FAQs cover to cover, as well as reviewing past threads
Sync stopped working :(
I think what reddit didn’t account for is that when sync, etc. shut down, I didn’t seek alternatives ways of looking at reddit. I sought reddits alternative.
Because it became a hivemind of only one allowed thought process. If you disagreed with the vaccine being mandated and forced on people, or disagreed with masking inside of a car you were downvoted and ostracized. Reddit mods started going after communities just because they disagreed with them politically and it became unfun to use.
It’s not political; it’s scientific consensus. Your opinion is dangerous.
