>After all of that happening can we at least agree that email is not a good substitute for Reddit?
Absolutely not, I have Reddit blocked in /etc/hosts as there appears to be nothing of value there at all these days. Sorting threads by vote count is brain damaged and brain damaging. Also everyone has email and it works fairly well. Viacom can’t just come in and “buy email” so they can kick people off for having certain opinions like they did Reddit. Despite new people asking the same questions on mailing lists, new discussions are often the norm unlike Reddit where the same mediocre garbage is always pushed to the top and the same uninformed comments fill the comment sections.
Not to mention, every day the Reddit UI gets more and more awful and they seem intent on destroying the site over it.
