[–] tiny_tina_@lemm.ee 76 points 3 years ago (2 children) Reddit is a lot less active now. Gotta love it permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] DadHands@lemmy.world 69 points 3 years ago (1 child) People on Reddit keep saying things are mostly back to normal, while tiny subs are hitting the front page of /r/all on the regular with like 2k votes. Also, I've noticed a pretty significant increase in overt racism. Or rather, significant decrease in moderation of it. I shouldn't be surprised but it keeps catching me off-guard. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Hbombone@lemmy.one 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) Like what? I can't say I've noticed much difference other than less activity overall permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MagicalPanda@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago (1 child) For myself, the quality in posts has dropped significantly. I'm always challenging myself to learn, I also learn better with things that interest me. I've found since Boost for Reddit went down that not even old reddit is catching my attention. I feel bored. This is for popular or r/all. If I'm on my own homepage it's like Reddit never changed as I'm subbed to mostly all small subs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 years ago For my frontpage the change is small but still noticeable: /r/pcm was always holding on by a thread, it looks like all the quality posters and moderation have left/given up. /r/chess is down about 10-20% of its normal upvotes /r/ProgrammerHumor is down about 50% /r/Sysadmin is surprisingly normal-ish for upvotes, but the posts aren't great. Although that sub has been mostly off topic rants for a while now... not sure I want to purely attribute that to the API change. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lateralking@vlemmy.net 22 points 3 years ago I haven't been back but do you have any data to back that up? Not that I don't believe it, I just want some schadenfreude permalink fedilink source parent
