I remember being on a call with the Bebo people like 2 days after that absurd buyout and asking sarcastically: “So what color is the Ferrari?”

The answer: “Yellow”.

Now you have the Battery.

Reddit is so friggin user-hostile that I don’t read most of the comments anymore: because I literally can’t. You can do a little browsing but the minute you’re trying to pay actual attention you get slammed with the dark patterns about installing the app or linking your gmail or both.

I hope it’s the management team that gets weeded out of the gene pool and not the whole site, because it was fucking cool at one time and could be again.




The current admins are so deep in the authleft cult that ousting them is the only way to save the site.


I respectfully disagree. I love how culty and weird subs get, it’s always a forcing function to me on living in a complete stranger’s worldview. It stretches my brain.

Should ‘/r/all’ tilt as woke as it does? Eh, dunno. But that was/is the beauty of Reddit: you can dine at the buffet of subs as you choose.
