Reddit was dead the moment they added social media features like profile photos

been looking to ditch since 2020. however no place really had a good quality userbase to make it worthwhile. hopefully enough people come here that it becomes a replacement. i miss reddit from 10 years agowhen it was like 1/10 of it's current size, 50million users vs 500million, heck even 5million would probably be great.

back then it was full of quality content and was far less censored, which made it a great place for learning. then it got started becoming an echo chamber around 2015 and the 2016 election cycle, where mods banned you for offering any opinion that wasn't within their orthodoxy. now most subs apart from very tiny niche ones are focused on only allowing the 'true believers' to post.
