Am I tripping or is this post 2 years old

The America-centric monoculture.

When there's a subreddit about something you're interested in, but it's run by mods who enforce a extensive collection of esoteric posting rules.

We're sorry, but you've posted about Topic C on a Wednesday, which is strictly prohibited. Discussion of Topic C is only allowed in the megathread which is only open for comments on the first Saturday of odd numbered months. Didn't you read our rules?

How it's living rent free in the head of many lemmy users who keep making posts aboit it

Im sorry but posts like this one. Being meta all the time for no reason

How the userbase is constantly bombarding the site with alternate versions of the same meme. Everything just feels so try-hard.

For me it's how explicitly for-profit it has become. This manifests in a lot of things like:

• rampant advertisements
• dark patterns to get the users hooked
• you literally cannot use the mobile site because it nudges you to install the app at all times
• new UI is garbage
• misinformation is freely allowed to fester to not drive down revenue

It has pretty much become like Facebook and it really sucks.

• Closed source (honestly, I'd rather not know what the redesign of Reddit is made of...)
• It's annoying, slow and tedious
• Works better in Chrome™ (I can't even scroll down the website properly with Firefox)
• Harmful business model (Reddit Premium, Reddit Coins, pay-to-win-karma...)
• It's a JavaScript powered website (not recommended for low-end machines)
• Communities are full of racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes...
• The use of sensationalist headlines is promoted to gain karma
• Is the ideal site for alt-right and conspiracy theories apologists
• Leftist/Communist/ML/MLM userbase is discriminated and censored everyday
• Reddit moderators are terrible (most of them)
• Dark patterns everywhere
• They block Tor users
• (I can think of many more but need I go on?)
