It’s pretty impressive how effective and total that migration was. I don’t think it could ever happen these days.
reddit effectily captured all the forum migrants/digg, and then Y'answers too. and other niche forums where you wont get astroturfed by the uptight mods in those forums who have total control over the whole site, and if they have something against you they will "stalk" you throughout that forum. |

They’re going the way of Twitter and Facebook. They started with rich, open, and supported developer platforms. They actively courted devs. Once they hit critical mass (thanks to devs making the platform good and attracting users), they rug-pulled and became what they are now. Same thing is happening with Reddit.
reddit is now only used for google to scrape AI data from. and to that end they are forcing logins, and forcing out bots that arnt vetted by reddit. |

I kinda like that they're becoming more openly hostile. It's fun to watch. I still can't believe they just came out and said that new users switching to Old Reddit is a problem that needs to be fixed, by removing their access to Old Reddit. You'd think they'd try to word it in a more deceptive manner at least. Or just keep it to themselves.
they want people to use the ugly and cumbersome new reddit UI, with the doomscrolling, and curated feeds. |

Back in my day we had the Digg to Reddit exodus.
digg+ y'a answers, i was on the latter for quite a long time before i discovered reddit had more of what im asking before trumps first term. originally it was super useful for physics questions from textbooks. |

Closed systems and the degradation of the network. Connecting to the information super highway is going to become Mad Max |

I found out on Reddit there's a maximum amount of usernames you can block before it stops you lol |

Man i was so confused, my first run in with the soapy tiddies memes was some Sheila with cambells soup cans over her boobs talking about soapy tiddies. Then I scrolled further and it all came together. It's the new beans
And beans were the new moths! |

its about 1000, and hten they stop muting them, whats the point lol. even blocking someone still allows you to see them. i have a feeling reddit eventually will make it difficult to block people. |

The limit is much less for communities or subReddits as well. I would block or mute communities I didn't want to see, until I hit a limit and it started randomly unblocking some. Not even an error, it would just unblock them on it's own. Extremely annoying. Especially when their algorithm is so terrible sometimes. Like I remember it kept showing me Indian Subreddits like India News, India Sports, ask an Indian, casual Indian talk, etc. I'm not even Indian, I can't even read their languages, stop showing me that 😂 |

well, I'm a new user. I've been churning accounts on reddit for a long time because you get banned by some subs just for posting or subscribing to other subs, then you post there not remembering the preemptive ban and bam, permaban. fed up with that noise, and having to churn accounts like a fucking outlaw. |

Welcome, I hope you have a better experience here |
